168 - From Freelance Writer to Fisheries Biologist with Troy Smith

This week Kadie catches up with Troy Smith, a recent University of Montana graduate and the new Kootenai white sturgeon Research Biologist for Idaho Fish and Game. Throughout the conversation, we cover Troy's career path from being a freelance writer to his current work as a fisheries biologist, his master's research on migratory westslope cutthroat trout in Rock Creek, Montana, and more!

Main Point: In life and biology, things are more often continuous than categorical.

If you would like to get in touch with Troy, you can send him an email at troy.smith@idfg.idaho.gov.
