Description
"Anytime that I am out in nature, I'm not always in the present. I oftentimes drift back into the past and different levels. And so, when I'm looking at a mountain in Montana, a big cliff, for example. I'm looking at the beauty of the cliff, but I'm also looking at what it represents, what that rock unit actually represents.And, in many cases, cliffs in Montana are a rock unit called the Madison Limestone, which represents an ocean that existed 300 million years ago. And so, I can sit there and look at this spectacular 2000-foot cliff and think of it as a beautiful thing, and also imagine myself sitting next to this tropical sea that it represents. So I live in time, I guess."Jack Horner is a severely dyslexic, dinosaur paleontologist. He attended the University of Montana for 14 semesters without receiving a degree. He has since received two honorary doctorates of science and a plethora of awards including a MacArthur Fellowship. Jack was Curator and Regent’s Professor of Paleontology at Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana for 34 years. He has more than 300 publications. He was the technical advisor for all of the Jurassic Park/ Jurassic World movies. At Chapman University where he now teaches, Jack encourages his honors students and dyslexic mentorees to challenge their preconceived ideas.https://jackhornersdinosaurs.comHorner Science Groupwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.org
