The Sassy Scientist

I am currently employed at a prestigious research institute (too prestigious for you to know) where I am continuously working with the greatest minds (especially me, myself, and I) to further our understanding of the solid Earth system (even though it is pretty much done: I have demonstrated it all!). Whether it is mantle or lithosphere structure and dynamics, solid Earth rheology parameters, earthquake processes, integrating observations with model predictions or inversions: you have read a paper of mine (and if you haven't, shame on you and get reading!). Even if you are working on a topic I haven’t mentioned here, I still know everything about it. Do you have any problems in your research career? I have already experienced them and have a fix. Do you struggle with your work-life balance? Been there, done that (give me something hard to work on). Nowadays, I have only one hobby: helping you out by answering the most poignant questions in geodynamics, research and life. I am waiting for you right here, so get me something to sassy with!
