Dr. Gnidovec-Anu Timple

When I was young, I used to be obsessed with dinosaurs and listening to Dr. Gnidovec speak about such things brought back a kind of nostalgia for those times when I was younger. I was really fascinated by the connections that Dr. Gnidovec made between the fossils of dinosaurs and about anatomy. I never really made this connection that a lot of the fossils were put together as a result of basic anatomy knowledge from related animals and to see Dr.Gnidovec speak about this was enlightening. I also never thought about the need to be knowledgeable in anatomy in order to have a good understanding of fossils. Additionally, I really enjoyed having almost a preview of dinosaurs that we would  be able to see when going to the museums abroad as now I have a better idea of what to look out for and will have a larger appreciation for what I see. Furthermore, one of the main reasons I really enjoyed Dr.Gnidovec’s talk was because of his passion. I don’t think I will ever meet anyone as passionate about sharing their knowledge of fossils. It was this passion that helped really convey across small details about fossils that I didn’t really think I would have as much of an interest in.
