The field that I've chosen and the path that I take in life has been long and winding road. I suppose I could start with a scientific father who sailed for leisure, career, and sport. Or possibly my mother who inspired drive, art, and a teaching path. I hope to ad-hear to the best qualities in both of my parents, as well as fantastic teachers that I can learn from. I worked in group homes for a while and was close to teaching ESE, yet the drive for science lead me on this path, so I continue to keep a scientific open mind, be open to learn, and pass along this ever changing field of understanding.
I am inspired by discovery, technology, and the future of life on this third rock from the sun. The current and future state of space travel depends upon education, innovation, and people working together for positive goals. I see people of all types, ages, and academic abilities contributing to the scientific field. Motivation can come from many angles, but i must say that the potential in space exploration, and the continuing understanding of nature and how we as a species can improve our conscious contact with it motivates me.

I care about health. From the health of the individual, to the family, community, planet and so forth. I care to see art and science used together when possible to entice the senses of wonder. I am concerned about many areas of improvement that we as individuals, and as a society can make, therefor what better place for innovation and wonder then the science classroom. I care about our impact and footprint on this earth, and the influence that we have in this interdependent web of all existence (UU).
I am amazed at the macro as I am about the micro, and so in discussion, my IRP was and in discussion will be towards the world beneath and in side of us. From the bacteria that keeps us alive to the bacteria that can kill us, I will be researching E coli, and its impact on the environment, and more specifically our close local environment.

SO--this is the face of e-coli! I've been wanting to learn so much more about this little booger!! Now--with your research, maybe I will. Great job, Chris!
ReplyDeleteI am also really excited to see what you find out about e-coli in our ecological backyard. I'm not fond of eating sea food but my family loves the stuff and as we are trying to go mostly local with our home cooked meals this really "hits home" for me.
ReplyDeleteI also love the science and art venn diagram!! It is a great illustration for the interconnection between art and science which I also feel. :)
