      My favourite bit about my job is the interaction with farmers and getting their insight on how my research is affecting them. Im hoping to help farmers make more money while keeping their animals safe and so their communication with me i feel is the most important.

      My favorite part of my job is that it is never boring since I do some many different things and work with so many different types of people. As a geologist I get to spend time outside collecting samples throughout the world. I bring these samples to a laboratory where I get to work in a chemistry lab and look at the rocks under a microscope. I then use special equipment, like a mass spectrometer, to analyze samples to determine characteristics of the rock, like how old it is. I also get opportunities to teach students and interact with the public. So never boring!

      My favourite part is learning from people I work with, discovering things I don’t expect, and following my own scientific ideas.
