Some of these skin infections are actually treated in burn units of hospitals due to their seriousness. Most cases of ichthyosis are genetic in that a parent with the disease can pass it on to their children. It is not uncommon for a parent to have mild ichthyosis and the child to have more severe disease. Most children with icthyosis are born without evidence of the disease and develop symptoms in later childhood. Some forms of ichthyosis are also more severe in childhood, improve in young adulthood and worsen in old age.
Paleontology combines biology and geology, and paleontologists need a broad scientific training. In high school, you'll need to take biology, chemistry, physics and math. When you move onto college, there are two possible pathways. Invertebrate paleontologists usually take a B.S. in geology with a minor in zoology. Vertebrate paleontologists commonly take the opposite route, a B.S. in zoology with a minor in geology, although some enter the field through geology.
