Many of us have wondered at some point how we might use our geochemistry degree outside of the familiar environment of academia. Here, Ayesha Landon-Browne, a PhD student at the University of Cambridge, gives us a peek into what it’s like to work as an exploration geologist in Canada. Hi Ayesha, can you quickly introduceContinue reading “Clean lab break: Exploration geology in Canada”
