About Dr. Carol Tang

Dr. Carol Tang is a paleontologist and the executive director of the Children's Creativity Museum in San Francisco.

Carol has been an active and celebrated member of the American Association of University Women. She has literally written the book on the Jurassic period for Encyclopedia Britannica.

She has helped design exhibits for the California Academy of Scientists and even deployed science programs in Golden Gate Park to help the broader community understand the impact of climate change on California.

Among her many accolades, Carol was named one of California's top leading women in STEM by the California STEM Learning Network.

There's not one way to do science. Each of us have our own strength, our own approaches. We could get to the same answer, or we could actually come up with different answers, and maybe that's what's exciting.
