Learning about biology in the field can be shocking

It may be shocking to watch, but it’s all for the sake of science. 

Jefferson High School’s head wrestling coach, Troy Humphrey, also works as a conservation tech for Fish, Wildlife and Parks. Each year, Humphrey puts on a fish shocking (electro-fishing) demonstration for Steve McCauley’s ecology students. 

“It’s nice to have people like Troy, who work in ecology careers, interact with our students so they know what type of occupations are available in science,” said McCauley.
