Hi, I'm Scott and I'm a Precambrian paleomagnetist and geochemist studying the evolution of the Indian subcontinent. I live in spring-country, a.k.a. Gainesville, Florida, USA. In addition to being a geoscience researcher and educator, I am a nature lover, foodie, and armchair musician 😊 .

Right now I work as an Adjunct Lecturer at the Santa Fe College Natural Sciences Department. I also volunteer as the Social Media Coordinator for the International Union of Geological Sciences Commission on Geoscience Education (IUGS-COGE). So far, I really enjoy working towards to increase global collaborations in geoscience education and see it as important for humanity's future.

I received my PhD in Geology from the University of Florida (UF) Department of Geological Sciences in December 2021 (mentored by Dr. Joseph Meert and Dr. Paul Mueller). After graduating, I worked part-time at UF as a researcher in the Neil Opdyke Paleomagnetic Laboratory and as a Lecturer of Groundwater Geology. I received my B.S. Degree in Geology from Appalachian State University (located in beautiful Boone, NC) in August, 2013. In the time between two degrees, I worked a variety of geoscience-related jobs, including as a Lab Assistant at the Antarctic Marine Geology Research Facility (AMGRF, no longer in existence) at Florida State University in Tallahassee, a Geoscience Policy Intern at the American Geosciences Institute in Washington, D.C., and as an OPS Geologist for the Florida Geological Survey, focused on sinkhole mapping in Florida.  

I'm currently pursuing full-time positions, but also enjoying part-time (adjunct) life. For example, I'm cultivating a better work-life balance than I could afford during my PhD, which includes more time exercising, cooking, and doing leisure activities. I'm also striving for a closer to zero-waste lifestyle and a social-justice and human-rights oriented life intention. 

The most welcome visitors to my site are those looking for 'Resources' to help them in their scientific pursuits and curiosities. If you wish to contact me for any reason, I'm responsive over email at scottrimiller@gmail.com.
