Because I’ve been asked, I will answer the following question: Why Schmogel?
There are two equally mundane answers. First, I work in a profession that is hard to explain to my mom what I actually do. And to compound the issue, when one searches for me on the google they find a much cooler, accomplished Erin Vogel. One that works at Rutgers in the “Laboratory for Primate Dietary Ecology and Physiology.” She studies how ecological variation influences the behavior (feeding and social), morphology, and physiology of non-human primates–she is in the jungle with monkeys. I couldn’t compete. So, I set out to own the term Schmogel in search engines. I do a decent job.
Secondly, the reason I chose to own the term Schmogel and not some other random nickname that was bestowed upon me is simple, I was never given another nickname. Many will proclaim “but no one calls you Erin.” That is pretty accurate. But the do refer to me as Vogel. That is my last name, not a nickname. So there you have it. Aren’t you glad you asked?
the world according to schmogel.
