Bola From the Fossil Lab (What’s the word, big bird?)

The past week, we (the fossil lab interns) met up with Dr. Paul Sereno and it was really exciting. One of the key moments was when Dr. Paul Sereno described science as “creative thinking and adventure with a purpose.” This was a good description. If I was faced with the question, “What is science?,” my answer would be: “Science is a form of seeking the truth through the past and resent and even the future.”
In the lab, I have also learned how to use a grinder. It takes plenty of patience and carefulness while maintaining the ability of being fun.
I love how you answer the question of “what is science?” May your search for truth always be informed with curiosity and constant reflection on the past.
Patience is a hard lesson to learn for some people. I’m glad that you’re able to have fun learning. It is a lesson that will put you ahead of the class!
