The Ecology zone had one of the highest percentage of active students of I’m a Scientist November 2013. Question intake slowed towards the end of the competition, but chats were always lively and busy. Students were interested in the different areas of ecology, ranging from climate change to marine biology. They were very curious to learn about the particular animals that some of the scientists’ research was devoted to.
