    Hi! I'm researching for a writing project. What are the approximate percentages of book/online learning, lab work, and field work? Thanks so much!

    Answer

    Dear sherriedennis, good morning. I'm not certain what you are asking. I don't know if you mean in the botanical profession, for health, or what I experience. If the latter, it varies tremendously with the time of year. During the growing season I'm out a fair amount, but winter is time in the office (reading and writing), in the museum (herbarium), and in the lab doing morphological research. Best wishes.
