I teach High School biology in Woodburn, Oregon. I received my undergrad degree from Brigham Young University and my Masters from Oregon State University. My original focus was history teaching with a biology minor, but I was hired as a biology tea…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing Dave! Your field and classroom experience will be a great asset to the group. Evolution and comparative anatomy are very interesting, but, like you said, I am interested in providing other lesson ideas for your classroom! I think that this opportunity to work with a Miocene deposit will provide new comparative information, but…[Read more]

Sorry I’m a little late to the party. Now that I’ve been called out I guess I can’t hide anymore.
I’m going to go a little off script from @jeanette-pirlo‘s original questions, but here it goes:
I grew up in the south Jersey suburbs of Philadelphia (E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!…sorry I’m a Philly fan, these opportunities don’t come around…[Read more]

Short bio about yourself
I grew up in suburban NY, but have lived in Florida for 41 years (I’d never move back). I went to college in NY as well. I’ve been a faculty member of the Univ of Florida since 1977. I am a paleontologist and primarily study fossil mammals from the New World (Americas). I’m married and have two…[Read more]

6 years, 3 months ago6 years, 3 months ago1. A native Floridian, I trained to be a forester/conservationist (not a teacher!). I am working, in fits and spurts, on an M.Ed. in curriculum and instruction at USF. In the past year or so, I have become a bit of a bird nerd in my reading. I don’t mind bird watching, but I find learning about their behavior even more fascinating.
2. I teach…[Read more]

Thanks for joining us Matt! I too find animal behavior to be quite fascinating. My background exposed me to animal observations, but my new challenge is to understand behavior through the fossil record. I think that your interest in digitization will be a great way to get your students involved in learning proper curatorial methods, as well as…[Read more]

After growing up in Dracut, MA as the child of two educators, I became an elementary classroom teacher in the Dracut Public Schools for 27 years and I taught 2 years in a Catholic school prior to Dracut. Nearly all those years were in first grade except for my first year in Dracut when I taught sixth grade. This is my fifth year…[Read more]

Thanks for joining us Maureen! I’m very excited to have you with us and that you’ll be able to collaborate with @denise-porcello! I know she has begun to go through MA science standards to prepare for our adventures! It might be fun to incorporate your art background into your lesson and have your students draw the biota from the GABI!

Thank you Jeanette,
I am looking forward to creating more lessons to share from all of the exciting experiences involved in paleontology! Young people get into fossils. Sharing real life scientific findings makes it so easy to motivate them!
