Nocturnal Memes

Field researchers understand the strange hours of science. While normal humans engage in questionable activities at 1 AM, biologists are out with headlamps hunting amphibians like it's a perfectly reasonable time to be knee-deep in a swamp. The nocturnal fieldwork schedule makes for awkward explanations to law enforcement. "No officer, these aren't drugs—they're specimen collection vials. The frogs only come out at night, you see." Just another Tuesday for herpetologists.
