I also had the recent opportunity to visit the Jobaria exhibit and totally
agree with you -- it was very well done.   Yet, what I found the most
impressive was that it was a FREE exhibit (it was funded by Project
Exploration.)

While visiting the Jobaria exhibit at Navy pier, I discovered that the same
evening Paul Sereno was giving a talk at one of the Pier's several theaters.
Gabrielle at arrived at the talk with over a dozen young woman participating
in the Sisters in Science program.   For me, a highlight of the evening was
seeing the enthusiasm these young women brought to the presentation and its
following discussion.
