Fossils Rocked yesterday at the Clear Lake Gem & Mineral Society Show! Come on out at noon today for Dinosaurs of Texas!

Happy International Women and Girls in Science Day! One of my favorite parts of working with children is when little girls tell me that they have never met a “Dinosaur Lady” before and that they want to be a paleontologist, too!

Growing up, almost all my scientist role models were men on television. (Except for my own dad, who is a chemist!) I adored Jeff Corwin, Steve Irwin, and Bill Nye, the Science Guy. But I did have a book about Mary Anning, caught some interviews with the incredible Dr. Jane Goodall, and enjoyed every minute I got to spend watching the beloved Ms. Frizzle.

Representation matters! So cheer on your favorite female scientist or aspiring scientist today!
