Earth Day 2011
I made a presentation to the Friday-afternoon LIFE (Learning is For Everyone) get-together. Subject was "Destined to Study Earth - the Making of a Geologist in Wisconsin."
The talk has been uploaded to YouTube. I had to slice it into 4 15-minute segments, as it is 57 minutes long and 2 Gigabytes in size.
