Hi everyone!

[Coelophysis]

I've been reading the DinoToyBlog and this forum for years now and decided on a whim to join up. I've been collecting dinosaur toys, books, movies, etc. since before I can remember and I've amassed a pretty huge collection. Sadly, two full totes of dinosaur toys were lost in a move a few years ago and I'm missing some of my strangest and coolest toys. That being said, I'm sure getting involved in the forums here will help me find equally interesting toys to fill in the gaps.

I'm currently a full-time student studying to become an evolutionary biologist. I've only been out of high school for a little over two years so I'm still pretty new to college, but you've gotta start somewhere!

My real name is Sophie and if you'd rather call me that than my username that's fine, I don't have a preference.

Looking forward to meeting lots of new people, hopefully it'll be as much fun as I'm hoping!

Hello and welcome! I hope you enjoy being an active member of the forum! I'm a biologist, but more in the ecology and conservation area.

Thanks! Truth be told, I'd be happy working in any area of the life sciences or geology, I just decided to opt to evolutionary biology because that will give me the most leeway to explore all sorts of life! I wanted to do paleontology specifically, but I felt that would limit my ability to really go out into the field and study modern wildlife.

Welcome!

Thanks!

Welcome, Sophie! I'm just finishing my PhD in evolutionary biology. It's a long hard road, but they tell me it's worth it!

You tell us, was it worth it!?

There are quite a few evolutionary biology students and professionals (inc. palaeontologists) on the forum.

Welcome! You never know, some of your old dino toys could have ended up with some of us! That's one of the things I love best about the forum - having other people to help you track down old treasures from your past.

Remains to be seen. I'll let you know once I'm on the other side of the tunnel.
