- Geology's an incredible
science, just because
it incorporates different
aspects of different science
disciplines, so you
have chemistry, physics,
and biology.
You know, and it all just
kind of comes into one,
into geology, and that's
what fascinated me
because it just has so many
different applications,
you can use it for energy resources or
you know, construction.
There's just so many
different ways it can go
with geology.
For our research project,
we've been looking
at biochemical and
phosphetic rich sediments
off the coast of South America,
and why we care about
this is because it has
viable implications for understanding
the evolution of life,
it has,
it's a global climate driver.
And we use phosphorus for fertilizer,
so it's important for a
worldwide food production.
I was a broadcasting major.
I had a sports talk radio
show on Friday nights
and I was the broadcaster,
sign on broadcaster for the football team,
and I took geology
because it was a science
requirement, and I ended up
tutoring the course and I actually had
Dr. Hyatt as one of my
intro lab professors.
He pulled me aside and
you know, we kind of,
we discussed, you know, some directions
I could go with geology and the different
career options, and it just,
I'm so happy I made the switch,
and it's brought up a lot of different
opportunities and I'm excited for
what is to come in the future.
