I have had a life long interest in animals, extinct and living. I originally considered going into a vet program, but realized that I really didn't want to have to deal with sick animals, especially having to deal with putting to sleep people's pets. So I ended up doing straight zoology at Michigan State (with a evolution and ecology focus). I networked with the MSU paleontologist (Mike Gottfried) by working in the collections there, and he was able to give me advice on good schools to apply to. Which is principally how I started with Annalisa Berta for my Masters in Biology, working on right whales.
I decided to stick with Marine Mammal paleontology, which seemed a field with alot of interesting questions, which led me to Mark Clementz at University of Wyoming.
And now I have to finish some chemical prep, so I will finish this post for now and reply more later |
