Discover new perspectives on paleontology, so much more than the study of dinosaurs!

Join Texas Science & Natural History Museum on Thursday, February 26, for a free special program featuring paleontologists Pamela R. Owen, PhD, Liam Norris, PhD, and Steve Wick, MS.

Learn about the research conducted by the museum’s experts — from studying the ecomorphology of American badgers, to uncovering chemical secrets stored in dinosaur teeth, to investigating the extinct animals that once inhabited Big Bend.

This round-table discussion will also offer insight into the museum’s newly updated Paleontology Gallery, stories about paleontological work and three unique answers to the question “How did you become a paleontologist?”

This program will include a Q&A and light reception. Space is limited, and registration is required.
