WEBVTT 00:03.340 --> 00:05.830 Mhm . So what drew me to verdict was 00:05.840 --> 00:08.730 the people here , The people here are 00:08.740 --> 00:11.360 so enthusiastic about science and being 00:11.360 --> 00:13.638 part of the mission to help the nation . 00:13.638 --> 00:16.860 I like a challenge and I like change . 00:17.140 --> 00:19.196 And it was pretty obvious to me upon 00:19.196 --> 00:21.418 learning about verdict that there was a 00:21.418 --> 00:23.584 lot of really unique challenges and it 00:23.584 --> 00:25.807 was a dynamic changing environment that 00:25.807 --> 00:27.973 had a lot of really meaningful impacts 00:27.973 --> 00:29.918 for both our civilian and military 00:29.918 --> 00:32.084 sectors . And that really appeals with 00:32.084 --> 00:34.307 me . He helped the military , he helped 00:34.307 --> 00:36.084 our nation , but he also helped 00:36.084 --> 00:38.680 different local individual in different 00:38.680 --> 00:41.430 community that not necessarily can help 00:41.430 --> 00:43.720 themselves . So I'm humbled to say that 00:43.730 --> 00:45.850 I'm a I'm a small part of this 00:45.850 --> 00:49.040 community that providing this help to 00:49.040 --> 00:52.110 our nation and the idea that one day 00:52.120 --> 00:54.340 the technology that I can help develop 00:54.350 --> 00:56.406 that that will help our soldiers and 00:56.406 --> 00:58.610 our nation just makes me sleep good at 00:58.610 --> 01:01.170 night . This is public service at it's 01:01.170 --> 01:03.370 best if you will . You're working at a 01:03.370 --> 01:06.090 government lab and you're serving the 01:06.090 --> 01:08.034 country and the people , the armed 01:08.034 --> 01:10.480 forces . And I think that to me that's 01:10.480 --> 01:12.760 a great motivator . And so it was 01:12.760 --> 01:14.816 really great to come someplace where 01:14.816 --> 01:16.816 you feel like you can do research , 01:16.816 --> 01:18.927 that people are going to be using the 01:18.927 --> 01:21.260 work right away . And it's very applied . 01:22.160 --> 01:24.049 I came to Crow because I love the 01:24.049 --> 01:26.271 mission . It's an amazing mission where 01:26.271 --> 01:28.480 army scientists and engineers actually 01:28.480 --> 01:31.060 go to the polar regions of the planet 01:31.640 --> 01:33.700 to solve engineering and scientific 01:33.710 --> 01:35.654 challenges . And it's through that 01:35.654 --> 01:39.480 diversity that we can we can be better 01:39.480 --> 01:42.010 at solving problems and finding 01:42.020 --> 01:44.780 innovative solutions . We are the one 01:44.780 --> 01:47.590 laboratory in the United States whose 01:47.590 --> 01:49.550 mission is devoted to solving 01:49.560 --> 01:51.880 scientific and engineering problems in 01:51.880 --> 01:53.880 the polar regions of the planet . I 01:53.880 --> 01:56.250 think that's amazing . I find out about 01:56.260 --> 01:58.560 early Krill and they are contacted . 01:59.040 --> 02:01.330 Indeed , we search it here and they 02:01.340 --> 02:03.460 invited me to give a talk and sitting 02:03.460 --> 02:05.127 down and talking to different 02:05.127 --> 02:07.349 researchers about the type of work they 02:07.349 --> 02:09.349 do . I knew from that moment that I 02:09.349 --> 02:11.940 wanted to come across and be a part of 02:11.940 --> 02:14.051 this environment . This is the reason 02:14.051 --> 02:15.607 why I joined Early Cradle . 02:20.240 --> 02:20.450 Mm
