[IDT] Workshop 3-part 2: Career in the Sciences/The dig, so far
I am not really sure what career I want to pursue in the future but a career in the sciences is a strong possibility. I have always been interested in medicines, diseases and other categories in science. Careers in the field of science seem very appealing to me because everyday is something different; if you’re a doctor it’s a new medical case, or for a paleontologist each day is a new discovery. I enjoy science because I feel there is always something new to learn I consider the field of science a possible career because I would want an exciting career where I am always doing something different. So maybe, 10 or so years from now, you will find me working in the field of science.
So far I have had lots of fun with the dig. I liked using specialized tools to dig up all of our fossils. Though it was a very long process I thought it was a great experience. Another part I had fun with was putting the bones together. It was a little hard because we had to decide how we thought the bones were put together and then we had to make sure they were correctly aligned. And we were constantly thinking about different ways the bones could fit together. But it was lots of fun working with my team to recreate a dinosaur. When we learned what type of dinosaur we had found I was amazed to see we had made the right prediction. I think it was also cool to put together a bunch of white bones then see how scientists predicted the animal to look. This whole experience has been very fun!
