Event Lineup:
⏰ 5:30 - 6:30 PM: Museum Exploration
🦕 6:30 - 7:30 PM: Panel Discussion
🦖 7:30 - 8:00 PM: Q&A
Discover how the story of dinosaurs can help us better understand the future of our planet. Why Dinosaurs Matter is a new speaker series from Edelman Fossil Park & Museum that brings together leading scientists, researchers, and thought leaders to explore the connections between Earth's ancient past and today's most pressing environmental challenges. Each installment will focus on a timely topic, revealing how the fossil record offers valuable insights into the biodiversity and climate crises shaping our world.
From mass extinctions and ecosystem resilience to conservation and climate change, Why Dinosaurs Matter invites curious minds to engage with groundbreaking science and meaningful conversation. Join us to discover why the lessons preserved in the fossil record are more relevant than ever—and how understanding the past can help us build a more sustainable future.
During our first Why Dinosaurs Matter we will explore one of the most urgent topics of our time: the science of climate and weather. Join renowned paleontologist Dr. Kenneth Lacovara, meteorologist Nor'Easter Nick Pittman, and longtime Philadelphia weather expert Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz for a fascinating conversation that bridges Earth's prehistoric past with today's changing climate. Together, they'll examine how the fossil record reveals the profound impact of climate change over millions of years, what it can teach us about the challenges we face today, and why understanding Earth's history is essential to preparing for its future. Whether you're a science enthusiast, weather watcher, or simply curious about our changing world, this thought-provoking discussion will leave you with a deeper appreciation for why dinosaurs—and the lessons they left behind—still matter.
