Let me start with a short introduction of myself. My name is Kristin and I live in Fairbanks, Alaska. I’ve been working in an environmental microbiology lab for the past 2 years, learning and working with the molecular side of life. Since we are known to thrive on balance; balance between logic and intuition, work and play, I thought it would be a great idea for my future career prospects to extend this concept into a scientific perspective. Transitioning from lab to the field takes determination, supportive mentors, and a lot of paperwork 🙂

Although, the first few weeks of my CLM internship are dedicated to fieldwork preparations, I am excited and dreaming of the great outdoors.
