Learn About Studying Paleontology

Hi!
I'm Jack and I love to teach about my main interest which is science. Specifically I mostly teach about paleontology, biology, and natural history but I also love to introduce people to some of my hobbies such as Dungeons & Dragons (as well as other table top role playing games), wildlife photography, and video games.
I'm currently a fourth year student in an honors earth science program where I specialize in Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoecology. 
I've also worked in science centers and museums since I was 16 where I learned my passion for science communication and picked up most of the teaching skills and techniques I use today. It is also where I picked up my casual, conversational style of teaching where I rely on my deep understanding of a subject and use my passion to discuss it rather than reading pre-written lecture notes off of slides. I run my classes on the philosophy that if the students feel comfortable and have fun, they're more likely to remember the material and gain a better appreciation for the subject than if I were to just tell them facts for half an hour and send them home. This means that I often schedule more class time than I have material to teach because I anticipate class discussions and tangents to be incorporated into the lessons.
