Yeah.

And that's tough.

Yeah.

The way I get over that, though, is like through stuff like this, science communication.

I really do see a difference when you talk to people.

Most people haven't met a scientist.

I sure didn't until I was like about to become one.

So I don't want to leave it all doom and gloom because like I push people.

I think the real solution to this is more people interacting with science.

Just go to your museums, go to your universities, go volunteer for whatever invasive weed thing that people are removing from your local neighborhood.

Interact with science as much as you can.

And there's like big science fairs, big volunteer opportunities.

Yeah.

Ooh, Donald Goosebumps.

That's disturbing, but accurate.

I would say like looking at the tissues under a microscope, realizing that you're the first person to see this animal since it got buried.

You're the first person to put these things together.

Fossils, just like the actual physical objects, the fact that they exist is amazing.

The new methods, the people I work with, like I love my job.

I love my job.
