    It’s also incredibly fun and the students have the greatest questions. This sort of outreach is the best part of the work that I do.

    Sharing is caring. If you’re a field scientist, schedule in an extra day to visit local schools and tell them what you’re doing, why it excites you and why their home turf matters. Think of who you might inspire?! (Photo Erin Feinblatt)
