I love science. I love the outdoors. I make videos for discovery channel. My focus in my videos are plants, animals, and ecosystems. I like to read books about nature.
I am a student at Boston College. I am majoring in Biology. 1984 is my favorite book. I love the writing and style of George Orwell.
I finished editing a new video for the Discovery Channel.  Awesome! What is this one about?  I was comparing a plant that's in my room versus the same plant outside. The outside plant grew 4 inches taller. Science rules! How are your bio classes going? That sounds really interesting. Classes are going well but I am trying to decide what I ultimately want to do with my degree, so I can start gearing my courses towards a certain focus. Its a really hard decision.  Is there a profession you are leaning towards? Such as Doctor, Nurse, PA, Botanist maybe? I've been researching different disciplines and the ones that I am most drawn towards are botany related. Phytopathology, which is the study of plant diseases, just seems like the coolest thing, but you've got a very narrow career path with something like that. Do you want to study and work with plants professionally?  That does seem cool. I would love to learn more about that. I would love to make plant documentaries for a living, but I don't know if they will be a big hit on Netflix.... I would watch them! I didnt mean to sound like what you do with your videos isn't important, I just didn't know if you are interested in botany more than any of the other sciences.  Oh no I know what you meant! It's great having a friend with a similar interest as me so we can relate! I agree Botany is a narrow career path, but in addition I think it has a but of a small following. Do you agree?  I think most people don't care a lot about botany unless they themselves are botanists. Which is a shame because I really think botany might be the key to the future, you know? If we can figure out how to grow crops more efficiently, have higher yields, make plants hardier and able to grow in a wider range of conditions, that's going to be very important for our crowded little planet.  Totally!!! This planet isn't going to save itself. I wish more people would jump on the band wagon before it's too late. Have you made any friends in Boston that share your interests? Everyone I've met so far in the city is either a lawyer, or studying to be a lawyer, or works for lawyers. If I want to talk corn to someone, I might need to go back to Kansas. I know you must have a ton of people online that reach out to you because of those great videos, but is there much of a science community where you are?
