Vegan Cruelty-Free Food Options. Martin Zeman

Martin Zeman, a vegan from the Czech Republic, reflects on his journey toward veganism, influenced by the movie Earthlings. He emphasizes the ethical reasons behind his dietary choices and the availability of cruelty-free food options. As an electrical engineer, he benefits from free public education and works for an American company, enhancing his English skills through travel and interactions. Zeman has worked in various roles, including as a carny in the USA and at a cannery in Alaska, which allowed him to explore nature and wildlife. He practices environmental consciousness by using his own dishes instead of disposable ones. Inspired by quotes from Forrest Gump and Tennessee Williams, he advocates for respecting others’ flaws while nurturing their strengths in his role as a supervisor.

Anne M. Jensen Archaeologist recovers human remains near Nuvuk. History vanishes as ice melts- Vanessa Crandell-Beck studies Mt. St. Helen’s.

I’ve worked in the oil fields before and I’ve been employed on ships. These are male dominated jobs but I did well and I succeeded. But what I want to do is be a vulcanologist. I want to study volcanoes.
My research was done at Mt. St. Helen’s and that was studying to see if there was any correlation with grain size distribution from the source down to where the mud flow was deposited.
