Question: are you any good at marine biology?

Ryan Ladd answered on 14 Jun 2011:

Yes and no! I’m actually an engineer so didn’t study biology but my work has led me to find out as much as I can about many weird and wonderful marine animals. However, I also have a strong engineering viewpoint on these animals, ask me how a whale can swim to 1000m below the surface of the sea and I can tell you how, ask me how much they need to eat a day and I’ll have no clue!
