Gave a talk to the 4th grade students about science expeditions to Antarctica and showed them some of the Taylor samples up close. The students loved it. I have to give a big thanks to Mrs. Bonsall and Mrs. Alicia Guidry for their help.
I am a graduate student at LSU investigating the geomicrobiology of Taylor Glacier. I have been on two expeditions to Antarctica as part of a field research team. This blog is part of my science outreach project to K-12 students in Louisiana. I hope that it will allow students witness scientific research in action, and perhaps encourage those interested to pursue scientific careers in the future.
