Intro
so just a little about myself; name;
Im a Chemist I go to the Colorado School of mines where Im studying
biogeochemistry
was born in germany, went to highschool, elementary in Germany, picture of
hometown where I grew up
I also play piano for ~12 years
Afraid of spiders, anyone know what spider that is; poisonous in Colorado
These are two pictures of what I do; This is me in my lab where I do
chemistry experiments which is the boring part of my job; but I also get to
go out into the field occasionally and litterally play with dirt; these are
buckets with some dirt that I took back to my laboratory for analysis;
My field of study is called biogeochemistry; now what does that mean?
What does bio mean? what does geo mean? what do geologists do? minerals
Why do you think studying this is important?
One example of biogeochemistry is actually tooth decay
