Burpee Museum's Paleofest 2016 is this weekend, March 11th - 13th, 2016. The topic is "Women in Paleontology". The speaker list (with bios) is here. There are some past ESCONI speakers, including Dr. Virginia Naples (who has given us a few interesting talks) and Constance Van Beek of the Field Museum. She spoke to us about fossil preparation. Dr. Mary Schweitzer, who made the ground breaking discovery of soft tissue preservation in fossilized dinosaur bones, will be there speaking about "A Pregnancy Test for Dinosaurs?!". The keynote speaker and dinner presenter is Dr. Kristina Curry Rogers. Her talk is entitled "From Madagascar to Microscopes: A Tiny Titanosaur Reveals Early Life History for a Sauropod Dinosaur".
There's plenty of fun science for the whole family. Don't miss it!
