I was trained in Paleontology under Phil Currie at the University of Alberta. I have gone on fossil digs in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming with paleontologist Paul Sereno. I have also been mentored by Paleontologist Thomas Holtz. I have also been an educator at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum since 2019.
As this class involves animals, there will be talk, as well as video clips, of acts of predation and carnivore-herbivore interaction. Descriptions of how an animal would kill it's prey will be featured, with the video clips blood may be featured depending on the source.
All art used in the class is used with consent, knowledge and permission of the paleoartists.
