00:00.340 --> 00:02.350
Mhm . Mhm .

00:10.840 --> 00:14.090
Mhm . Our vision

00:14.640 --> 00:17.860
is to be the nation's laboratory , the

00:17.860 --> 00:21.220
go to place when you have

00:21.220 --> 00:24.060
challenges related to cold and extreme

00:24.440 --> 00:26.662
regions of the planet . We've had a lot

00:26.662 --> 00:29.110
of support to upgrade our facilities

00:29.540 --> 00:32.350
and we're doing some amazing scientific

00:32.350 --> 00:34.670
and engineering research here . And so

00:34.680 --> 00:37.310
I feel like we're on the right pathway

00:37.320 --> 00:39.042
going into the future with the

00:39.042 --> 00:42.810
laboratory . So my

00:42.810 --> 00:45.950
degree is in ocean engineering . Um I

00:45.950 --> 00:48.530
can't say I envisioned doing oil

00:48.530 --> 00:51.500
mitigation and oil recovery , but uh

00:51.510 --> 00:53.399
I've been fortunate enough to get

00:53.399 --> 00:55.454
involved in some really cool aspects

00:55.454 --> 00:57.566
here at Crow . I love doing this kind

00:57.566 --> 00:59.399
of stuff . My favorite stuff for

00:59.399 --> 01:01.510
research is the hands on aspects . So

01:01.510 --> 01:05.350
anytime I get without a chainsaw or I'm

01:05.350 --> 01:07.350
up to my elbows in crude oil , it's

01:07.350 --> 01:09.850
just a good time . So I enjoyed a lot .

01:10.440 --> 01:13.900
I like a challenge and I like change .

01:13.910 --> 01:15.970
And it was pretty obvious to me upon

01:15.980 --> 01:18.202
learning about verdict that there was a

01:18.202 --> 01:20.369
lot of really unique challenges and it

01:20.369 --> 01:22.424
was a dynamic , changing environment

01:22.424 --> 01:24.424
that had a lot of really meaningful

01:24.424 --> 01:26.313
impacts for both our civilian and

01:26.313 --> 01:28.258
military sectors . And that really

01:28.258 --> 01:30.490
appeals with me in general . I'm trying

01:30.490 --> 01:32.546
to take the laboratory from here and

01:32.546 --> 01:35.710
lift it up to here in order to have our

01:35.710 --> 01:37.321
scientists and engineers and

01:37.321 --> 01:41.030
technicians ready , prepared , uh , and

01:41.030 --> 01:43.440
resourced to help our nation answer

01:43.440 --> 01:45.660
some really big challenging questions

01:45.660 --> 01:49.350
as we go into the future . Mm .
