I’m a palaeontologist, which means I study fossils. If you’re wondering whether I dig up dinosaurs, yes, I do. And yes, it’s as cool as it sounds. Last year, I got to spend about four weeks in Canada on a dig. I actually discovered an almost-complete dinosaur skeleton on that trip. It was incredible.
If I’d found that in Australia, it would immediately become the best-preserved dinosaur that we have in the country. But in Canada, which is practically brimming with dinosaur fossils, they were just like, “Oh, well, it’s missing some bones, and, you know, it’s kind of high up and would be hard to excavate… And we’ve got six already that are better preserved, so we’re just going to leave it here.” I can’t complain, though. I think…
