Hi Simeon,

Thank you for sharing the update on the class. That sounded like an exciting experiment you all got to try in class.

Also, exploring different rates of CO2 is a great idea. Do you have ideas on how you would like to go about it?…

Hi Ezekiel,

Job salaries range depending on science and specialty area. My background is in geology and earth science. I studied ancient river environments, their climates, and their inhabitants.

Have a great day!
