Following up to my "what do I do with the rest of my life" email :) I appreciate all the responses, and I will try to reply to each individually after I finish my deadline (working on a piece on EARTH University in Costa Rica which is an AMAZING place It's a 4-year sustainable ag & entrepreneurship university that recruits students from around the world and puts them in the field 1st year, and gives them money to start a business that has to be profitable by their final year). They also grow sustainable, carbon-neutral (other than shipping to US) bananas that they sell to Whole Foods.
At any rate, I have decided to apply to the PhD program at Stanford and Berkeley. I'm REALLY turned on by the E-IPER program at Stanford (https://pangea.stanford.edu/programs/eiper/) and it is EXACTLY what I was posting about wanting to combine my love for field work with practical, hands-on solutions to problems. When I was in my former PhD program studying the evolution of cooperation in slime molds, or even the frog hybridization project I tried to get started, it was just too theoretical. So, I'm wondering if anyone has attended there, or is a professor in the departments that are affiliated with E-IPER, and if so I'd love to hear from you. I better get started studying for the GRE unfortunately my scores are outdated :/ Wendee Wendee Nicole, M.S.
