Science Lives
Mallory Mintz, Intern Scientist
In this episode, I speak with Mallory Mintz, Intern Scientist in the National Park Service’s Scientists in Parks program. A first generation college student, Mallory graduated with a bachelor’s degree in geology, and then worked for several years as a research assistant at The Earth Institute at Columbia University. She left that position after the pandemic hit, and moved across the country to the Olympic Peninsula for her current internship. In this episode, we’ll talk about her passion for science, desire to use her education to make an impact in the world, her thoughts on how she sees her career progressing and whether to go to graduate school, and of course find out about her current work with the National Park Service.
