Part 2 of the interview with Greg Dykstra talks about Paleomill. This startup company has provided Greg with a way to document and print dinosaur fossils in 3D. Much like practitioner’s in other disciplines, paleontologists are still trying to figure out how to best use tools like 3D laser scanning and imaging. Greg is proving to be a guiding force for them. The educational value of open source 3D animation software like Blender is also mentioned.

Once again, Greg recommended the book Creativity, Inc.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration.
