APSU Mondays: Presentations and board meetings
Austin Peay recently announced how one student's hard work helped land him a big presentation at the national level, and when the winter Board of Trustees meetings are taking place.
Student rocks national geology conference presentation
Austin Peay recently announced that APSU junior, Department of Geoscience student Dairian Boddy recently presented his research at the Annual Geological Society of America meeting.
His presentation "Mineralogy and Radiogenic Isotopes of a Newly Identified Zinc Vein near Russellville, Kentucky" was focused on a out-of-place rock deposit in that area.
With instruction from Dr. Erik Haroldson, APSU, Boddy started assisting with the professor's research. While driving, they noticed the deposit.
“Dr. Haroldson lit up like it was a goldmine. This is stuff that he’d been researching. He looked like a kid in a candy shop. I’ve never seen him react like this," said Boddy.
Boddy wants to continue his geoscience studies through graduate school, but is hopeful to be a "jack of all trades" as he continues down his academic and professional career.
