Wader

One study found remains of the eggs that cause this disease in fifteen of twenty-three examined mummies. The cause is a parasite, carried by snails living in the still waters of canals and in the Nile’s riverbanks, that burrows through the feet of waders, enters their veins, and then swims to the body’s bladder and rectum to deposit eggs. The worms finally migrate to the urinary tract, causing blood in the urine (hematuria), and after the eggs hatch, they cause severe anemia, urinary infection…

to hunt. I felt nervous. I hadn’t shot my gun since I’ve had it. I wasn't sure how it would go. We drove on a dirt road for about 2 miles then he stopped the pickup put in park and said: “Let's go get ‘em, boys.” We grabbed all the decoys, put our waders on, and loaded our shotguns. Then we headed down to the creek, to me it looked more like a canal. We threw all the decoys out into…

The Galapagos Islands are located 727 miles straight west of the country of Ecuador. They were discovered accidentally by Tomas de Berlanga, the first Bishop of Panama. He drifted off course and ended up there while travelling from Panama to Peru. He was not overly impressed with what he found due to the lack of fresh water and their inability to sustain their stay. There was not much interest in the Islands for many years, until, however, Charles Darwin found the “Mystery of Mysteries,” the…

Ironies of Imprisonment James Wader November 18, 2017 University of Southern Mississippi It would seem highly ironic to think a country whose motto is “the land of the free” could be imprisoning more of its citizens than any other place on the planet. Unfortunately, this is all too true in the United States, as it has the highest rate of imprisonment per capita in the entire world. In 2005, Michael Welch decided to write a book breaking down all the issues associated with imprisonment in…

I. Personal Experience with Dogs As far back as I can remember, my family has always had a Dog. The bond between a dog and human being is typically very strong, even stronger when the human in question is a child. The dog must be able to sense that this tiny human has some special value. Perhaps it could also be that a child is somewhere in the middle of the spectrum between a human adult and a toy. The dog can’t quite figure out if it should listen to it or play with it. Whatever the reason…

Personal Statement: I strapped on my waders and began walking toward a manatee carcass. A Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) marine mammal biologist proceeded to instruct me on how to perform my first field necropsy. Through this research experience I got to understand the internal anatomy of a manatee, outside of textbooks. Therefore, research allows me the opportunity to tangibly investigate my curiosity. The manatee has always sparked my curiosity because humans are their…
