Meet the Scientist: Brendan Moore

My name is Brendan Moore, I am currently a freshman at the University of Utah pursuing a degree in Atmospheric Science. I was born and raised in Moab, and have grown up with a passion for the outdoors. From age 14, I have had a love for all things science, and my recent opportunities with Science Moab have solidified my passion. My dream goal is to contribute to the conservation of the American Southwest.
