But Sam, how did you get into geochemistry, and why did you start a podcast especially?

I've been putting off me doing this part of it for a really long time, but I think a lot of people know a lot of the pieces of it.
3:18
So I got into geochemistry.
3:20
I was at McGill, end of my first year, and I had to select a major because in McGill at least, in your second year you have to declare a major.
3:31
So I had gone to all the geology parties, and those guys the year before had gone to Iceland.
3:39
They went to Tanzania.
3:40
And then my floor fellow, the guy that oversaw the residence that I was in, he for the summertime h- was a field assistant at Merapi Volcano in Indonesia.
