Caribbeans for Climate

In this episode of The GeoTrip, Cameron Muskelly, a self-taught paleontologist, shares his journey into the world of geoscience and paleontology. He discusses his early fascination with dinosaurs, the challenges he faced in traditional education due to being on the autism spectrum, and how he carved out a unique path in the field. Cameron explains the importance of mentorship, the various branches of paleontology, particularly invertebrate paleontology, and the fossilization process. He also shares insights from his fieldwork in Georgia and his aspirations in science communication and research, offering valuable advice for aspiring paleontologists and non-traditional students alike.Have questions or ideas for future episodes?
