Eve Meyer finds her path to research at SFU Biological Sciences

Eve Meyer came to SFU Earth Sciences with a huge rock collection and a lot of curiosity about the natural world.

The job prospects and opportunities to do field work attracted her to geology, but once she began to take classes, it didn’t feel like the right fit.

“In my second year I took EASC 210 which covered the formation of Earth and the start of life.” I kept coming back to the fossils we were identifying and evolution rather than the geological processes.” She took a break from Earth Sciences to complete her WQB requirements, and finally took BISC 101 at the beginning of the COVID-19 lockdown.

“Even from home I recognized I wanted to change my major,” she says. But changing course two and a half years in meant going back to basics and setting aside a lot of the progress she’d made in her degree.
