Subject intro

Todd Jones is the scientist that I will be studying for our project. Todd is a doctoral candidate in zoology at the University of British Columbia. His fields of interest include animal physiology and conservation issues. His study is of juvenile leatherback sea turtles appears to be why he is on this years "top ten" list. I have learned that it is rare to observe young leatherbacks because the hatchlings leave their beach birthplace and take to the sea. Todd devised a way to raise the turtles in captivity in order to study their growth years.
