This interview was conducted during the transit to Shanghai at the end of the expedition. It was a pleasure to conduct this interview. Lachit is one of the happiest scientists I have ever met.

 

I’m sailing as a physical properties specialist on this expedition.

How does your work help reach the goals of the scientific prospectus?

I am focusing on tectonic impacts on climate conditions. This expedition is quite focused on areas prone to earthquakes and climatic conditions.

What do you like about being a scientist?

I like that question! Science is a very cool profession. We learn new things every day, and moreover, a scientist is someone who converts imaginative thoughts to reality. That’s why I like being a scientist so much.
