A non-scientist in the field: Day 1

By: Cindy Petersen


Key words: Patience, communication, dedication…. These are words are jump out at me when I think of my first day in the field with geologists. I now have major respect for a geologist as this is a true art detecting and exploring the science of our dear earth. I have learned a lot for the lectures that were given and also so many avenues of understanding were opened . Due to my experience in the field I can perform so much better with the tools I have been handed. The quality of the communication towards to Education of the intern is exceptionally well but major improvements can be done within the field of communication between the team members. Case and point, safety of team members has to be improved and relaying the message more clearly will have a much more positive effect than just not saying a word.

I believe that day one was not an eye opener to the team leaders but also to the rest of the team who have dedicated themselves to this great initiative. Furthermore, the Field School can be an amazing tool to create and nurture the skills of our future scientist. To Day one we bid you goodbye.
