“Cruisin’ the Fossil Freeway,” an exhibit at Seattle’s Burke Museum on view through May 31, has done more than just draw guests to the venue.
It has inspired a lecture series led by some of the Burke’s expert paleontologists.
The four lectures will begin at 7 p.m. on March 30, April 13, April 27 and May 4.
The sessions will explore various aspects of invertebrate and vertebrate paleontology, or life existing in prehistoric times, and the paleontologists will answer questions.
Here’s the speaker schedule:
March 30: Liz Nesbitt, Burke curator of invertebrate paleontology
April 13: Christian Sidor, Burke curator of vertebrate paleontology
April 27: Caroline Stromberg, Burke curator of paleobotany
May 4: Greg Wilson, Burke adjunct curator of vertebrate paleontology
Doors open at 6 p.m. Admission is $5 per lecture, free for Burke members, students and educators who bring identification.
Burke Museum is at NE 45th Street and 17th Avenue NE on the University of Washington campus.
