God is green after all


Couldn't resist snapping a pic of this sign. I've always knnown God is a greener.

It's been a busy couple weeks. I spent the 4th volunteering with the Steilacoom Tribe where I sold many prepared many a hotdog for the parade and street fair crowds. I'm also an official grad student now. I'll be working towards a Masters of Arts in Policy Studies. I'm REALLY psyched! Considering I am a conservation biologist at heart I can't wait to get started given that conservation biology is a true mix of science and policy. With two BS degrees in science, this will be a well-rounded addition to my academic career. Next stop will be a science Ph. D...just not sure in what yet. I started a new part-time gig at UW Medical Center that I'm really excited about, doing patient relations.

Finally, I've had a great correspondence with CNN anchor and reporter Nicole Lapin regarding one of my new projects, The Smart Set and her campaign "Being Smart is Cool" showing that, regardless of the Lindsey Lohans and Paris Hiltons that seem to get a lot of press time, young people today are engaged and aware citizens. Besides being the anchor for CNN's streaming video, she also hosts a weekly interview show called Young People Who Rock.
