To Thine Own Self Be True: A Geologist’s Journey

Geologists wear many hats—several of which may be practically invisible to the general public. Between studies, research, field work, sample preparation and analysis, applications, outreach, teaching, and so much more, a large number of geologists also spend countless hours each year peer-reviewing scientific articles or serving on journal Editorial Boards. Professor J. Gregory Shellnutt of National Taiwan Normal University has served as a leader of numerous geoscience journals, including recently joining as co-editor of The Canadian Journal of Mineralogy and Petrology (CJMP). Greg’s story—and his new book—caught our eye and we were lucky enough to connect with him for this Elements Life in Science interview.
