A scientist who studies soils.

I enjoy science because I get to continually learn about things and help others learn. Every experiment has three great parts for me. First, each experiment means I’m doing something new, either in a new place or in a new way. Continually doing new things makes science exciting. Second, by doing science I discover new things that help us understand forests and soils and how to best manage them. Analyzing data can be very rewarding when it tells you something you didn’t already know (think “Eureka!”). Finally, my favorite part of science is helping others understand the forest. I know I’ve done a good job when I’ve helped somebody else learn something.
