Friends and Fossils: Science Show and Tell - Featuring Real Amber and Fossils!

Hi! My name is Miss Elizabeth and I have been working in public science education for over 20 years. I have worked in the fields of paleontology, ornithology, entomology, and zoology. I look forward to sharing my experiences and passion for knowledge and discovery with your child!

I was a paleontological assistant at a dig site in the Badlands of Montana where I instructed tourists of all ages about fossils, the operation of the dig site, and general dinosaur facts. I also assisted with excavations and scientific documentation of fossils. 

I trained with wildlife rehabilitators and have rescued and cared for many animals, including hawks, eagles, foxes, owls, and even skunks! I raise and release beneficial insects, like butterflies, mantises, and ladybugs. I love teaching about the amazing world of nature that surrounds us, even in our own backyards. 

I was a science educator at a children’s interactive museum. My duties at the center focused on teaching children of all ages scientific concepts through hands-on learning experiments, demonstrations, and live animal interactions for museum visitors. 

I was a guest lecturer for a science lecture series for high school students and also for local scout troops (for children aged 5-14). In my lectures, I taught about the process of fossilization, evolutionary paleontology, and taxonomy.

In addition to my scientific pursuits, I am a huge science fiction, Star Wars, Marvel, Jurassic Park, Disney, and rock music geek! 

Let’s learn, explore, imagine, and make friends together!
