From Yosemite’s granite walls to magma chambers under the ice, Dennis Bird’s story is one of chance and curiosity — one in which a teacher, a mountain lion, and a storm helped forge a lifetime of discovery and humility.

Helen Degeling: It's okay to change: a geological career

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2502584/open_sms] Ever wondered what happens when a young geologist, told she'd only ever be the "token female,"  decides to prove everyone gloriously wrong? Here's Helen Degeling, whose journey has careened from academia, to surviving a decidedly un-gentlemanly welcome at a Pilbara gold mine, to doing fieldwork seven months pregnant in 38-degree heat. Helen's is a tale of resilience, career pivots, and finding purpose in surprising places: a triumph of grit, gumption, and the good sense to know when to chase what truly matters.  Teaching resources (questions prompts) for 12-16 year olds can be found here: https://www.tes.com/resource-detail/resource-13276404
