I am writing this to share the news of my new novel. It is going to aim to spread some positive light on the environmental science field. I will be interviewing many professors and will be asking them questions like:
• Your name, role, and work focus
• how did you become interested in this work?
• why did you choose to follow this career path?
• What education did you need to have to get to where you are today?
• what is the best part of your role?• what do you struggle with the most?
• what you would want others to know about the work of environmental science majors?
So far I have only gotten one interview in, but I learned lots of valuable information about the environmental science field. I would anticipate this to be available for reading sometime in the near future. Right now my goal would be to finish this before April.
My first interviewer, Dr. Douglas, is the assistant professor of environmental science at Dickinson College. She has been working at Dickinson for 3 years and has spent 2/3’s of it being a teacher, but the interesting stuff is what’s in the other one third. Douglas has been around the world for projects, with an overall goal of designing a more ecological approach to pest management. So far she ahs helped by introducing no-till farming, pesticide coated seeds and more. No-till helps reduce soil erosion and the greenhouse effect.
