Jurassic Park vs Real Science

Jurassic Park vs. Real Science with vertebrate paleontologist Bethany Burke on June 27th at 4PM.

In 1993, the movie Jurassic Park burst on the scene as a cultural phenomenon. While the animation and special effects on screen are riveting, what you see is not always scientifically accurate. Buckle up for a ride through the Mesozoic with paleontologist Bethany Burke Franklin as she helps sort fantasy from facts in the movie. You might be surprised to learn that the facts are even more interesting than the fiction! You’ll also get a peek into what paleontologists actually do and get hands on with real and replica dinosaur bones.
