I like that - that you went with a field that required EFFORT. That
you knew would take WORK to learn. That's awesome! And proves that you
really are a scientist. Scientists are learners, they want to learn.
So going into a field where you HAVE to learn instead of just coasting
on "this is cool and I can do this easily" says lots and lots of good
things about you.
The graphene....I think I've heard that before. Don't they use that in
things like electrical switches? Stuff to conduct electricity?
Also YOU WENT TO CAMBRIDGE?! That's, like, even better than Harvard!
It's easy to see, now that you describe it, how those trips out to the
fields and areas where you live played into the things you are doing
now. And beautiful, that you can take something you loved then into
something you love NOW. That's such a direct way of going about it - I
envy that. And it's strong that you kept on the right path to DO all
that.
Also volcano's are AWESOME. They are like the Earth's organs. Okay,
not that, but they are the closest link between what goes on
underneath us to what we can see above us. Like, whatever gets spewed
out was buried way deep below and is OLD. So many clues about how
things used to be.

It's important that we study that.
