The dawn of a new reign! Welcome to ScienceGeekdom!

Hey Everybody! My name is Danielle Serratos and I'm a regular girl from the country just south of Dallas/Fort Worth (Texas) who rode/trained/competed on horseback, learned to scuba dive at age 15 and am currently a Masters student in paleontology at the University of Alaska- Fairbanks.

I love many things in life but there are three things that I am impassioned about:
1) Paleontology! and SCIENCE in general... to me, science has always been about discovering what is around the corner of never-ending space. 
2) Education and public outreach! There are a lot of problems in the world but a definite lack of open-mindedness seems to me to be the root of a lot of those problems.
3) Sexual Equality- because as I progress through my education and career in Academia I have noticed one thing... women get the short end of the stick all to often in this world.

So, hopefully these things are interesting to you and you'll want to read more of the lovelies that come sprouting out of my brain just like Athena: crazy, beautiful, and shouting to be heard!

If you are curious as to why there is a picture here --->
it is because I felt the need to show off these amazing costumes our friend Ana (Bradford) Dolan made for my husband and I!

Also, a great thanks to Felicia Day for partially inspiring me to start this =)
