An Evening With Palaeontologist Professor Julia A. Clarke

Dig up some dinosaur history with Professor Julia A. Clarke, a world-renowned vertebrate palaeontologist and evolutionary biologist.

In a 30-minute talk, Professor Clarke will share her groundbreaking research and explore the fascinating links between dinosaurs and modern birds. She is particularly interested in how structures in living animals and novel ways of moving—such as avian flight and wing-propelled diving—evolved.

Following the talk, enjoy a screening of T. Rex, narrated by Sam Neill. This 24-minute film uses advanced CGI and the latest palaeontological research to revisit the thrilling story of the dinosaur king.

After the film, you'll have the chance to meet Professor Clarke and ask her your burning dinosaur questions during a 20-minute Q & A!
