Scott Brande has been teaching earth science at UAB since the Pleistocene Epoch! He must REALLY enjoy it (he does!). Scott does not believe in knowledge silos, and that view has driven him through departmental and disciplinary walls like an asteroid through the roof. Scott's appointments (primary-Assoc. Prof., dept. of chemistry; secondary-dept. of electrical and computer engineering) have provided Scott opportunities to collaborate with fantastic faculty across campus and around the world to explore nooks and crannies of the Earth, Moon, and even the minds of his students!
