I can only wonder how supportive her parents were. Seems like that's a huge determining factor.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest 24 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes some parents would say, "Paleontologist?! Do you want to live on food stamps the rest of your life??"

Or, even worse: "dinosaurs aren't real, the Bible would have mentioned them"

Lower than average and above parenting doesn't matter nearly as much as people think it does. We are learning year after year that nature is much stronger than nurture.

I'm even linking a version where the person bashes the concept but constantly cites things that go against their argument lol.

I will link my usual nature vs nurture citation too if needed. My profile should have it for the lazy though.

E:

tl;dr: Separated identical twin studies have shown over and over that so much of who you are, the small quirks, the larger life goals, all of it is something that you will be naturally inclined to. Being raised healthily only serves to dampen or enhance much of what's already there.

-

Mass murder, a careless disregard for human life and liberty, inflicting pain both emotional and physical onto others. Most of these are essentially switches some people simply aren't born with. People can learn or mask all they want, it doesn't mean you're not playing with a shit hand.

All people are not created equal. Many people have a significant harder time going through life because they rolled snake eyes on the genetic lottery. Our robust mountain of scientific evidence and understanding of the human brain points to nearly all of it being rooted in Scumbag Brain / Body.

My mom said if you hold it that way for too long it’ll stay that way.

You mean it'll fossilize?

I love it when people recreate the same pose for these time jump pics hahaha

[–] FlyingSquid 19 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The Children's Museum in Indianapolis has paleontology and archaeology labs with real scientists doing research, restoration work, etc., which you can watch them doing, and also making themselves available for questions from anyone, children or adults.

They didn't have that when I went there as a kid, but they do now. I think it's so incredible.

[–] BluesF 15 points 6 months ago (2 children)

That's a great resource, but good god I can't imagine a worse environment for me to work in than one where I'm constantly being questioned by children.

[–] FlyingSquid 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, I don't think I explained it very well. I don't mean that every archaeologist working there is available for questions at the same time. I meant that there are archaeologists (and paleontologists) available to answer questions any time while others are doing scientific work.

[–] BluesF 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ah, that makes more sense!

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 6 months ago

Yeah, when I was there, there was a window to watch what they were doing and one of them at an open part at the end to answer questions. But I'm guessing that the ones working wouldn't mind answering the occasional question from a kid pointing and asking what's up with what they're doing. I doubt they would be working there if they weren't interested in science education. And I'm really glad there are enough archaeologists and paleontologists interested in science education to do things like that while still being able to do work in their field.

I found a couple of pictures of their paleo lab to show what I mean:
