You're seeking additional opportunities to stare at your computer screen, hunched over your desk, amplifying your facial wrinkles, while chirping birds outside your window continue to perform rigorous daily activities that are so crucial to servicing ecosystem health. (Thank you birdies!) Well...you're in luck!
