For this project, I took two of my favorite talks—one by Kenneth Lacovara on his Titanosaur discovery and one by Robert Ballard on his fascination of ocean life. Both talks end with an inspiring call to action asking future scientists to continue to search our planet for more information on our past to help us uncover our future. The concepts of the books play on adding adding layers to our understanding of the past and uncovering elements of the present and future.
