Well, I am officially a Harvard Drop Out. A friend posted about free online classes from Harvard and there was a Meteorology class that looked interesting (I am a sky watcher as well as a fossil hunter!) so I started taking. It was a really good, intersting, in-depth class, but part way through I thought....I wonder if there are any Paleontology classes online for free??? I'd rather do THAT! (not being a trained palenotologist) and sure enough....Dino 101 through the University of Alberta! I am signed up and working on "Week One" videos and reading! I suspect I'll be done by tomorrow. What better thing to do while in lockdown!
And I have to say, it is quite good. Both my parents have degrees in Biology and I have loved mammology and palenotology all my life (if I hadn't been an artist, I was going to be a marine biologist) so I am familiar with the general biological background, but I am learning lots of new things through this. It has some fun interactive things like a 3-D Gorgonosaurus skull you can rotate and look at, a T-Rex "puzzle" to put the bones together (basic, not advanced). So yah...i'm enjoying it quite a bit.
