So far in this internship, we interns have been collecting data from books and plugging it into an excel file. Though at times collecting data gets a little repetitive, we are aware that it will benefit us greatly when we start our own research projects.
In these past few weeks, we have had the opportunity to attend some presentations from students and professors here at Stanford that have allowed me to understand just how broad the field of paleontology is. We have also had the opportunity to go on a field trip to a couple of beaches in search of fossils and I have learned that there is a very complex and interesting story hidden in rocks and fossils.
