      I studied a module in University on the animals that live in the seabed, including worms and snails – what I thought was so cool is how you can use aquariums with these animals as little versions of the real world, to test big concepts about habitats in a small way. These animals affect the chemistry of the mud and through that affect how plants grow and how many fish can survive. They’re really important!
