Benjamin Hobart: The selection committee has chosen the three of you as our finalists. The ultimate decision will be based on the answers you give to the questions I ask here. We're going to start with Dr. Li. You claim the field is too reliant on the Linnaean taxonomic system. How do you propose to correct this?
Dr. Li: Well, I believe that the answers lie in the osteological evidence. I plan to begin there.
Benjamin Hobart: Interesting.
Ross: I guess.
Benjamin Hobart: Dr. Biely, your proposal includes some fieldwork. Where might that take place?
Dr. Biely: Primarily in the Pierre Shale region of South Dakota.
Benjamin Hobart: Certainly. Very well. And Dr. Geller, when is my birthday?
Ross: What? l-
Benjamin Hobart: Care to venture a guess?
Ross: May 12?
Benjamin Hobart: That's not even kind of close.
