The photograph illustrates the solitude of a researcher, doing what they love. Creating a deep connection between themselves and the endless hours of questioning. Here you see Mayra Narvaez, an undergraduate researcher, analyzing how hazardous chemicals propagate though our soil. She spends sleepless nights in lab running trial after trial alone, in search of the answer to the environmental consequences of dichloroacetamide safeners in both terrestrial and aquatic systems. The photograph contains elements of motion and stillness to explain how even as data is flying around and questions are constantly changing, finish lines are moving. The researcher has to be calm collective and be able to analyze the changing problems, finding out how to reach that ever elusive finish line.
