Why I like Science (#2)…

It can lead you to deep places in the world…








Some which may be dangerous…

...places on this Earth (as made by human activity)…



Where the hand-prints of previous inhabitants can be readily seen…




Including some expressions of positive human emotions and sentiments…




Right next to not-so-positive human emotions and sentiments…





…but still to jobs where you to get paid to work play outside…



…and deploy cool stuff…

…and collect data…

…from many locations…




And then you get to make maps…

…to show where you have been …



And, to show where you should focus your remedies…

(Jackpot! Concentrations of Vinyl Chloride in groundwater, baby!)

…or maybe to avoid in order to live well (as the case may be)…


Either way the lesson is, whether you are in a lab or in the field, you can do Science, and thus…

Everyday Can Be Science Day…

...which is located in an urban setting.

This is a follow-up post to my 1st "Why I like Science" post back in late April 2015,
