Just because the fossils are old doesn’t mean the technology used to examine them has to be. Join us for coffee and a morning discussion about present-day paleontology.
At the August 25 Sunrise Science, hear from Dr. Jennifer “Indy” Anné about how researchers are using modern technology to reexamine fossils. Anné will share how new technological applications of physics, chemistry and computer engineering have revitalized paleontology in the 21st century.
