A production of the Office of Research Development at Florida State University, Journeys in Research is a podcast that transcends disciplines and explores what unites research faculty. In each episode, we’ll hear from an FSU research faculty member about how their own research journeys brought them where they are today. The journey is the great equalizer. It requires the same things from all of us – time, sacrifice, flexibility, resiliency after failure, stamina after victory. So take this time to be encouraged, and leave motivated to pursue your own journeys in research.

Episode Two
Special Guest: Sharon E. Nicholson
Episode Two follows Dr. Sharon E. Nicholson to the West African Sahel. To the desert. Nicholson started her journey as a curious young researcher, unafraid to question her superiors and became an internationally-recognized research powerhouse, who successfully turned a paradigm on its head and changed how climatologists think about the desert.
The 2020 - 21 Robert O. Lawton Distinguished Professor, Dr. Sharon E. Nicholson is a world-renowned climatologist and professor of Meteorology for the Department of Earth, Ocean & Atmospheric Science at Florida State University. She has garnered several awards, including the Humboldt Research Award, which she received for her work on the effects of climate on dry environments in Africa. Her research has had a major impact not only her area of expertise, but on the fields of hydrology, physical geography, remote sensing, arid land studies, and paleoclimatology.
