I tried searching for famous ichthyologists, wondering whether there are celebrities who like fish--not as sushi, thank you very much.
Wikipedia has a List of Ornithologists but no list for ichthyologists.
Maybe I will never make a good zoologist because I (am not ashamed to admit that) almost failed high school Biology and thus would probably make me unfit for the job.
But anyone who grows wide-eyed at the thought of birds and fish are generally interesting for me. I don't know a lot of people who would openly say that they like fish or looking at fish. People who like birds are easy, there's always a metaphor for birds. Fish, I don't know.
This year, aside from resolutions, I am going to try to meet new people: One, being an ichthyologist.
