Moscow – New Dinosaurs & New Discoveries

Join us on Wednesday, July 15, at 10:30 am for a special webinar with paleontologist Aki Watanabe on the latest dinosaur discoveries! A resident Research Associate at the American Museum of Natural History, Dr. Watanabe will highlight exciting findings in paleontology from this past year in celebration of this summer’s CSLP theme, Unearth a Story.

Featuring a live presentation and Q+A, this session invites CSLP members and their patrons to learn more about fieldwork and research from a real paleontologist! From cutting-edge imaging techniques to analytical tools, discover how scientists are using modern technology on ancient fossils that lead to new breakthroughs in how we study and understand the evolution, ecology, and behavior of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals.

Dr. Watanabe is an Associate Professor of Anatomy at the New York Institute of Technology and a Research Associate in the Division of Paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History. His research explores how key characteristics of modern birds evolved from their dinosaurian ancestors, with a particular focus on the evolutionary origins of the remarkably large and specialized brains found in living birds.
