    A couple weeks ago we went to the science mus, they had a Dino exhibit and my nephew never grew out of that.

    In any case we were pretty much the only ones there, and there was a lady who certainly knew about dinosaurs answering my nephew’s questions for three hours. I’m not sure if she was staff or Ike a volunteer, it was far from boring stuff.

    In any case, one of the other museum staff people and apologized for her- “sorry she gets really passionate…”

    I’m like “are you kidding me?!”

    (The only problem is that he’s totally going to hijack science class again and spit Dino facts for the entire period. Which I’m okay with, because his teacher is a YEC, so, yeah.)

      Permission to punch the guy who “apologized” for her in the face?

      That lady is one of the few things that makes this world enjoyable, she shared her love and knowledge and passion. that’s priceless.

        She also had a gift for science communication, which is incredibly important these days.

        Curiosity is a skill and she definitely helps nurture that in everyone who went to the exhibit.

        We were very sure to name drop her in a review of the exhibit. We had a lot of fun and a lot of that had to do with her carrying the exhibit. (Well. Maybe not carry, it was still a great exhibit,)
