38. Paleontology, Science Education, and Home-brewing with Dr. Andy Farke

What is it like to take high schoolers on paleontology digs and curate a museum on a high school campus? Dr. Andy Farke, Director of the Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology at The Webb Schools, discusses the inspiration he gets from educating high schoolers, his home-brewing hobby and blog, and why it's essential to make science exciting even for people who will never become career scientists.
