In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Rene De Hon at Texas State University. Among his mapping projects of Mars and the moon, he was also my very first geology professor. We reminisce about his past research, putting the final touches on his excellent career in academia, planetary geology, the effects of plate tectonics, and spending a semester at sea with his wife.

Apologies for the long, long layoff. I had a thesis to write. In this episode, I was able to speak with my masters advisor, Dr. Katie Costigan about a wide variety of subjects including: finding an advisor, maintaining a relationship with advisor, etiquette in sending emails to potential advisors, among many others topics. My time at UL was fantastic and all made possible by having a great advisor.

Thanks to all who made Genevieve and myself's time in Lafayette the absolute best! It's an incredible city that flies under the radar in Louisiana. We will miss the friends we made, the beers we drank, the great Cajun food we ate, and the baseball we watched.

Episode 6: Exit Interview

We're back! In this episode we do a lot of catching up, go over the application process for offshore work,  we fumble around with trying to open a window, Gucci Mane joins the show (not really, but kinda), I also suggest we get back on topic but then we don’t stay on topic, lastly we give a Bitcoin/Chuck E. cheese token update and go over our plans for the rest of winter break.
