I am very inspired by the exploration of space via private means.

Because of technologies from space exploration, we can begin to understand our world's origins, and our lives are improving. These are the reasons why dedicating a life to the sciences and space exploration is so meaningful and rewarding.

The West Virginia NASA Space Grant took me under their wing and taught me everything about applying for internships, scholarships, and performing research at the undergraduate level.

Economics is a strange science. Our subject deals with some of the most important as well as mundane issues that impinge on the human condition.

If the experience of science teaches anything, it's that the world is very strange and surprising. The many revolutions in science have certainly shown that.
