As a child, Chang Meemann was curious about animals and plants in nature. She decided to become a paleontologist— someone who learns about dinosaurs and ancient fish by studying their remains, known as fossils.

Meemann’s story demonstrates how passion, nurtured from a young age, can drive scientific excellence.
