This is a slightly different video than I normally upload, but I thought maybe some of you might find it interesting. I filmed this for a scholarship application where one of the requirements was to take a blank sheet of paper and do something creative and mining related with it. Although I love chemistry, I am also a geologist. Lot of the public are unaware of what geologists do, or the critical role that geology plays in society. Hopefully this is a fun, quick glimpse into the epic world of Earth Science! Let me know what you think of this sort of content. If you enjoyed this video, check ou ..read more
