  Heya Iona, I’m not actually a Paleontologist – I’m an accelerator researcher. I wanted to be a Paleontologist when I left school because I love dinosaurs and fossils!!
  I realised in college though, I dont really have the patience to dig up bones using a tooth brush!
  
  I like all science really. But I think my personal skill set sways towards experimental research, hence the line of science I’m in now 🙂
