My friends and I consistently ask each other for advice on homework or clarifying questions about the textbook readings. We also talk about our stressors, and it’s more comforting to talk to someone who is in a similar situation as you.

If there is going to be a pipeline, right-of-way or an energy corridor that may affect a lot of paleontological resources, I get involved and explain how it will affect those resources or not affect them.” A natural maven, Foss’ role
