I’ve been a scientist most of my life, having enjoyed the best job in the world: Senior dinosaur curator at the Royal Ontario Museum, and professor of zoology at the University of Toronto. During my 33-year tenure I published 46 scientific papers, twelve books, and received continuous federal grant support (NSERC) for my research. The reason for belabouring my credentials is that my views on the serious state of science education in our schools will be viewed as heresy by departments of education across the country.
