I am currently in an Honours Bachelors of Science program at the University of Toronto. My majors are in Paleontology and Biology, with a minor in Philosophy of Science. So when I graduate it will be in the field of Paleobiology (to a certain extent) and I will be looking for opportunities in museums and research laboratories to gain additional experience in fossil preparation, excavation, and research.
I considered additional graduate schooling, I love learning, but I am eager to work first. I still have yet to narrow down my love of fossils to a specific critter (or set of critters) and I think some hands-on work will help me do that.
My interests range from evolutionary radiations after mass extinction events to childhood favourites of pterosaurs and ankylosaurs… which isn’t exactly all that helpful considering most of the fossils I can collect in my current region are invertebrates. So I have more experience with collection and preparing of invertebrate fossils.
