Experiential Science Education - Yanayacu, Ecuador 2010
Brady Samuelson
Hometown: Riverton, Wyoming
University/Department: University of Wyoming: Education
Why did you decide to go on the Yanayacu Research Trip? I wanted to get out of Wyoming and travel and participate in an ongoing study. I feel it will give me validity as a science teacher.
What was the most important thing you learned? To be thankful for what you have. Don't take the little things for granted.
How has this experience changed you? I am more interested in entomology. Ecuador is so different than Wyoming and how immense the tropical rainforest is.
What are your plans for the future? I plan on living and teaching in Wyoming. I would like to teach middle or high school science and continue going on research trips.
What advice would you give a young scientist? Take as many different science classes as you can and find out what you are passionate about. Be well rounded and find your passion.
