PALEONTOLOGIST BARBIE BECOMES OUR MEME: THE MARRIAGE OF THE SCIENTIST AND ARTIST CREATES INTERVIEWS WITH PALEONTOLOGIST BARBIE

COLLABORATIVE WORK FROM THE MARRIAGE OF THE SCIENTIST AND ARTIST

 COLLABORATION OF A SCIENTIST AND AN ARTIST.  In 2011,  my Chiboogamoo and I collaborated on the five blogs you see below. I gave Chiboogamoo Paleontologist Barbie for Christmas 2010, and since then she has joined him/us on our investigative adventures into paleontology and geology. Another interview with Paleontologist Babie is forthcoming on bike ichnology at Jekyll Island, Georgia. 

PALEONTOLOGIST ON SAN SALVADOR, BAHAMAS

Paleontologist Barbie Willingly Sacrifices Her Winter Holiday to Deepen Emory Students Understanding of the Concepts of Uniformitarianism on San Salvador, Bahamas at Gerace Field Station. 

Chiboogamoo and I bring Paleontologist Barbie with us out in the field to lead the students into challenging situations so they could learn about modern and ancient environments.

Paleontologist Barbie Pursues Professional Development at 2011 Society of Vertebrate Paleontologist (SVP) Meeting in Las Vegas, Utah, USA. 

Paleontologist Barbie sees exciting tracks and a really cool dinosaur sitting trace in addition to exchanging knowledge with fellow colleague paleontologists. "Professional development is more important than Halloween parties," Paleontologist Barbie was heard saying out in the Utah desert.

PALEONTOLOGIST BARBIE DANCES WITH A DINOSAUR. After three days on the field trip Paleontologist Barbie finally meets one of the trackmakers, Dilophosaurus. “How cool – you’re one of my favorite dinosaurs! Would you like to dance?” she asks cordially. Of course, when Paleontologist Barbie dances, she always leads. And that’s because she’s a natural-born leader.(photo and caption by Anthony Martin)

Paleontologist Barbie's Passion for Modern and Ancient Traces

Paleontologist Barbie goes to St. Catherines Island to examine reptile burrows.

INVESTIGATING ALLIGATOR DENS. Paleontologist Barbie, in a quest to better understand the fossil record of reptiles, decides to investigate some of the traces made modern alligators and sea turtles on St. Catherines Island, Georgia. “Why not take on the biggest and most dangerous reptiles first?” she asks, while checking out an alligator-den entrance.(photo and caption by Anthony Martin)

Paleontologist Barbie's Gleeful Discussion of Evolution, Darwin, and Science-Related Art

Paleontologist Barbie explains her understanding of evolution by looking at the "Selections" art exhibit at Fernbank Museum of Natural History in Atlanta, Georgia. Specifically, she provides her interpretation of the importance of art done by Chiboogamoo and Hallelujah Truth.

Paleontologist Barbie's Raison D'etre: Scientific Investigation and a Passion for Art!

This is the first interview with Paleontologist Barbie! It is a must read!

SERVING AS A ROLE MODEL: While in Melbourne, Victoria, it was time for Paleontologist Barbie to examine some fossils and fossil replicas in Museum Victoria. “Looks like a skull cast of Dorudon, an early whale from the Eocene Epoch!” Here she looks at the spacing between the teeth toward the front of the skull. “This is the sort of functional morphology that can provide more than a few insights on its diet,” she assures us. Who could dispute her? Paleontologist Barbie, while investigating bite forces in Dorudon, demonstrates yet again why she is the honey badger of paleontologists, totally fearless and unstoppable in her pursuit of scientific knowledge.
