![I am a science nerd through and through. I cannot get enough of the microscopic identification of itty bitty creatures unseen to the naked eye. [#ad] In the vast sea of literature available in this day and age, All About Fish and Fellows emerges as a quick science-related read, offering refreshing tales from the ocean while touching on the complexities of marine science.
