And not 'rocks' as in another word for awesome. Basically the Burke Museum geology dept. has a huge moving project going on so they can get new and earthquake safe storage. The Burke Museum blog posted a video that they made starring Ron Eng (the collections manager for geology...he's awesome!). He can explain it better than I can. The rooms they show are rooms that I don't get to go into too often (as it is not part of my job to be in there), but I love to get in there and play whenever I can! There is also an older woman shown wearing a green shirt pulling out a specimen drawer. That's Ruth! She's a grad student and is also awesome. These are two of my favorite people at the museum! Ruth was also a TA with me when I TA'd the Dinosaurs class at the UW a couple of years ago. We have also done little excursions (one in which I obtained my mammoth tusk). She can climb a cliff wall better than me! It's ridiculous... Anyways, you should watch the video! Only 2 minutes and this one is much less likely to be removed from YouTube for copyright issues as all of my So You Think You Can Dance videos are.
