I am interested in sustainable agriculture, especially the practice of capturing carbon with soil. Grist wrote an article on the Working Lands Innovation Center, an organization researching ways to increase the soil’s capacity to absorb carbon dioxide — a greenhouse gas responsible for accelerating climate change. Reducing the amount of carbon in the atmosphere slows climate change, and increasing the amount of carbon in the soil helps crops grow, so it’s a win-win situation. According to the article, spreading pulverized rock on farmland may increase its ability to capture carbon. I think this is a very innovative and exciting approach to agriculture, and I like the idea of agriculture combating climate change in addition to feeding people.

Well hello there! I'm Stephanie, a first year English major switching into journalism. Music is the glue that holds my life together, so for this website, I wanted to talk with students that felt the same way. Musicians are a splash of color on the STEM backdrop of Cal Poly, and I thought they would have some great stories people would want to hear. The music business is a tough business, so I am inspired by people who are passionate enough to pursue music in the face of challenge. I am curious to see why students would thrust themselves into such an unforgiving world, and what about music softens the blow of the industry and makes them want to pursue it for the rest of their lives.
