3. Samantha Kadar talks about the North Bay Science Discovery Day and shares how she becaume interested in science by first asking how weather was related to location. Her quest led her to studies in meterology at the Santa Rosa Junior College and to eventually teaching Geography as a Professor.
 

About our Guest: Samantha Kadar is a native of Sonoma County whose ancestors settled in the Dry Ctreek area after the Civil War and a retired professor of Geography from California State University Northridge. She holds an A.S. in Earth Science from the Santa Rosa Junior College, a B.A. from Sonoma State University and a M.A. from San Francisco State University, she focused her teaching on the core classes of Geography that embraces the physical processes of the planet, the people who inhabit the planet, and how regional areas developed on the planet. Environmental issues often took center stage in the courses she taught over a twenty year span, as well as encouraging students to embrace a diversity of subjects within Geography and other academic departments so that they would become well informed members of society. She often facilitated this through mentoring and steering them towards academic scholarships to further their paths. Many of her students have gone on to achieve advanced degrees and many have embraced teaching.
