Scientist Profile: Ken Paynter
Dr. Ken Paynter uses his curiosity about the world and how it works to drive his everyday work with the “Marine Estuarine Environmental Sciences (MEES)” graduate program at the University of Maryland. Leading a large research program requires him to be constantly questioning the world around him and how it works, which he loves. Ken says that, “once you make one observation, it typically conjures up a bunch more questions,” which keeps his job interesting, because he’s always learning new things.
