Paleontology

You start your week with an 8 AM Evolutionary Biology lecture, tracing major milestones in life's history. Professor Miller poses a complex question, and after class, you stay to discuss it, clarifying phylogenetic trees. Later, in your Sedimentation & Stratigraphy lab, you meticulously examine rock thin sections under a petrographic microscope. You struggle to identify a specific mineral inclusion, feeling a momentary frustration as the light refracts oddly. After dinner, you meet your study group for an hour, reviewing today's concepts, before heading to a campus club meeting.
