Personal Statement
- I
guess I must be considered pretty much old-fashioned. I just
can't seem to understand why we spend so much time today learning
about the natural sciences from CD-roms and the Internet, when
the real world is just outside our "Windows." Working with the
collections at the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum reconnects me
with the real world of minerals. It provides a basis and inspiration
for teaching and research, and (please don't tell anyone) it
is just plain fun!
