Article on Longobardi!

The Northeastern News covered the guest lecture made by Pam Longobardi. I thought the article did a really good job explaining the event and highlighting the most interesting aspects. There was a lot more to the article than the dressed up sheep. Her slides from her travels to Montana, and while she was a firefighter were really incredible. It was a real mind opener to how big the world actually is, and where people fit in to that larger picture. Another part that was particularly interesting was her work with fossils. She used her artistic ability to draw a guesstimate of what an actual egg might have looked like. Later, her drawing was used in a scientific journal which made her work a historical record. The following is a link to the actual article which is good at explaining her lecture in more detail.
