Bio
Watch Carol Tang, the Executive Director of the Children’s Creativity Museum in San Francisco, share how one of the things she likes best about her job is watching kids interacting with the exhibits and discovering their hidden talents. She has always been interested in marine life, and started her career as a paleontologist specializing in Jurassic period clams and oysters. She was drawn to paleontology because it is like being a time traveler and mystery detective, using fossils and rocks as clues to solve mysteries about life in the past.
