Dr. Mook considers herself a "jack of all trades" in the education and work environment. She has cleaned trails at a wildlife conservation park, worked in an environmental testing lab, been a zookeeper, and helped the computer guy install equipment and train people how to use their email. She has also been involved in biology research with bioremediation, genetics, genomics and cell biology. Dr. Mook is particularly interested in all things reptilian, especially turtles and tortoises, as wells as sperm physiology, especially their motion and long-term storage for fertility studies.
