My previous experiences with science involve a childhood wrapped around my parents’ jobs either teaching environmental science, particularly stream hydrology, or applying science as a civil engineer focused on city water and sewage systems. In high school I took basic biology and chemistry, as well as AP Environmental Science, and in college thus far I have only taken Geology. What I’ve enjoyed most has been that Environmental Science course back in high school, as I felt it dealt with important matters to my and every person’s everyday lives, and appeared more immediately applicable than did chemistry and basic biology.<\/p>\n
I would like to get a better understanding of the way the earth functions, as well as how human activies affect these processes.<\/p>\n
In relation to antibiotics, I would like to get a better understanding of the spread of resistant bacteria in nature outside of direct human influence – how things are indirectly affected beyond our immediate actions<\/p>\n
The issues that appeal to me the most, and therefore I assume appeal to others as well, is how I and they might be affected in the immediate and far off future by current human activities and mistakes.<\/p>\n
