In this episode, we host Kyle McDill, PhD student in the Department of Geosciences and Project Manager at MSU's Research & Curriculum Unit. Through our conversation, we discuss Kyle's social media presence (thatbeardedhiker), his use of GIS to create virtual hikes and educational content, as well his love of the outdoors, his thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, and his experiences with the Department of Geosciences field courses.
