Wofford students study icy origins of life on Earth

When Ellis Parsons '26 pursued research opportunities this summer, he opted for an experience that would take him out of his comfort zone.

Parsons, an international affairs and history double major from Landrum, South Carolina, chose to work with Dr. Daniel Helman, visiting assistant professor of environmental studies, on a study that could illuminate the beginnings of life on earth.

"It's outside of my field a little, but I think that is what attracted me to it," Parsons says. "I was interested in gaining experience in research and challenging myself to go beyond my abilities."
