Dale Gnidovec Reflection

I really appreciated Dale’s talk. I learned a lot of interesting details related to paleontology that I had previously not known. For example, that mastodon were more common in Ohio than mammoths, or that Peale, who painted many portraits of George Washington, was also a paleontologist. His advice on where to see various important paleontological specimens in Paris and London, and in the US, was very interesting to me, and I will likely be taking his advice when we go abroad in March. I am especially looking forward to seeing all of the the hall of fossil mounts in the Paris Museum of Comparative Anatomy & Paleontology.

  1. I also have an interest in learning about the historical figures we don’t always associate with science, like Peale, and hear the greater context of their lives and contributions.
