    Fulfilling one’s childhood dream is a rare and powerful gift—one that can inspire self confidence and motivation in one's life. For Chris Herd, that dream took shape early on as his love for rocks transformed into a love for meteorite rocks. In What’s Up With Rocks, the University of Alberta professor shares with us his fascination with meteorites—how they differ from ordinary rocks, why his research matters, and what Albertans should do if they ever stumble upon one.
