I wanted to share some of the photos I took on our last trip to the AMNH. I am not a photographer by any means, however I tried to take pictures of the Dinosaurs from the perspective of how we actually view and experience them when in the museum itself.
Also, I found Biodiversity, Science and the Human Prospect particularly interesting. It contained allot of information that I did not know, as well as some facts
I had not considered previously. In particular I
was intrigued by the idea of the evolution of a new interdisciplinary science.
I feel that so much scientific inquiry has actually been to the detriment of the biological diversity of the planet, and the evolution of a natural
science like this
may be vital to stop this wide spread extinction. One fact in particular stuck out as something I would like to discuss in class “ biodiversity also contributes to out emotional and psychological well-being. recently,psychologists have begun to study ho mental health and social condition are affected by life in a human-dominated world increasingly devoid of the beauty of tranquility and stimulation afforded by contact with other life forms”
I am not so sure how I feel about this idea, and am curious to hear other opinions.
