Your TAs:

Lisa Song is a former EAPS student (class of '08) and a graduate student in MIT's Science Writing Program. She finds it rather amusing that the Mission 2012 problem is the same topic as her Master's thesis. For inspiration, Lisa visits despair.com. She is also a fan of cats.

Seth Burgess was born and raised in northern California and relocated in 2007 to begin graduate work at MIT. His prior education includes a Bachelors degree from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and a M.S. in geology from San Jose State University. At MIT, Seth works with Dr. Sam Bowring in the EAPS geochronology lab.

Your UTFs:
