Steve presents at AESRC

On March 30, 2019, Steve presented his undergrad thesis, Using Highly Siderophile Elements to Better Understand Asteroid Formation, at the Advances in Earth Science Research Conference (ASERC) at the University of Toronto. He was very excited and enthusiastic (and nervous!) to deliver his very FIRST academic oral presentation.
