A group of sixth grade girls from a Maryville Middle School science class visited Northwest's Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Nov. 30, 2012, as part of science video the class was producing. Here, Dr. Michael Hull, assistant professor of chemistry, is teaching the students how to use a glove box, which allows chemists to handle chemicals without any exposure to oxygen or moisture.

During an Arctic sunrise on board the U.S. NavyÕs attack submarine USS Pogy (SSN 647), Jay Simpkins (far left), a scientist with the Oregon State University, collects water samples, while Navy Lieutenant Junior Grade Mark Cronley (foreground) stands watch as a safety observer on boats deck.
The U.S. NavyÕs attack submarine USS Pogy (SSN 647) returned to Hawaii, on Tuesday, November 12, after a 45-day research mission to the North Pole. The second of five planned deployments through the year 2000, Pogy embarked a team of researchers led by Mr. Ray Sambrotto of Columbia University. During the several thousand mile trek, the submarine collected data on the chemical, biological, and physical properties of the Arctic Ocean, and conducted experiments in geophysics, ice mechanics, pollution detection, and other areas. For the purposes of this voyage, a portion of the submarineÕs torpedo room was converted into laboratory space. However at no time was the ship ever removed as a front-line warship.

I took a free tour of the Science Barge, a not-for-profit enterprise which is trying to prove that NYC's food needs could be met using renewable energy.

What sparked your interest in science?
When I was 5, I was going to be an astronaut when I grew up. We had books littered around the house about the universe, how black holes were formed, and what it was like living out in space. Since then, science fair projects and wacky home experiments have been the stuff of childhood.
Why did you choose UT Austin?
UT Austin is an amazing place to live and learn. On campus, you have world-class education and a diverse, active student community. Off campus, musicians from around the world at ACL and the rich culture that is the staple of Austin life. Where else?
How (or why) did you choose your major?
I chose to major in Biology. What better way to learn about the essentials of life?
Over the course of your time here, what have you gained/experienced that you perhaps didn't
expect?
A freedom to really involve myself in whatever caught my interest. Outside of classes, I become involved in research to make the next scientific breakthrough, volunteered at a hospice to really get first-hand experience with patients, and built houses with Habitat for Humanity. I also took a fancy to the social-political context of healthcare; next thing I knew, I was in the Bridging Disciplines Program for Social Inequality, Health and Policy, and planning an internship to Washington DC for the Archer Fellowship.
What has been your most rewarding or exciting experience as a CNS student?
By far, it has been being a part of the Freshman Research Initiative (FRI) and conducting independent research through the Aptamer Stream. Research steps out of the square of right and wrong answers and forces you to find your own.
What advice do you have (or what myth/concern would you like to dispel) for students considering joining the College of Natural Sciences at UT Austin?
It’s perfectly okay to not know what you want to do with your life coming into college. That’s what you’re here for. Sure you’ve declared a major (or maybe not – more power to you), but take some time to look around and find what really makes you tick. Reach out to professors, chat with your friends, heck, even come talk to me. Don’t settle, you won’t regret it.
If you had to sum up your experience at UT in one sentence, what would it be?
Hook’em.

Only the brightest bricks around get to work at Rocket Science Inc! Visitors are greeted by a reception desk with sofas and flowers. On the second floor there's a state of the art water cooler. Really... that's all there is. On the third floor is the office floor and when work is over there's a sun deck with a professional telescope to watch the stars with. And the whole building is of course powered by solar cells.
