Gavin talks about his academic journey during which he interned at a diverse space agencies such as the Canadian space agency, ESA, the planetary center in the US. He also talks about his PhD work and current research work at the Western University. He discusses the career path options for a geologist and shares the diverse paths of his fellow researchers. We then dive into discussing our podcasting journeys and compare notes on the highs and lows it brings along. Perhaps could be useful for someone trying to start a podcast of their own!
