Christina Neal writes: “In April, I said goodbye to 42 years as a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) volcanologist. I carry precious memories into retirement including summer field seasons in Alaska; two years as a geoscience advisor at USAID; serving as scientist-in-charge of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) and representing HVO as a finalist for the Samuel J. Heyman Service to America award; and leading the USGS Volcano Science Center. I thank inspirational Brown mentors Tim Mutch, Jim Head, Jan Tullis, Barrett Hazeltine, and Giles Milhaven for launching my journey. My partner and I will stay in Alaska for now, splitting time between Anchorage and Homer. We look forward to more time with friends and family, travel and freedom to work on causes dear.” Contact Christina at [email protected].
