Dig Deeper
A regular series of talks bringing you closer to our science.
Delve into our pioneering projects and find out more about our collections as we celebrate and showcase the world-leading scientific research we carry out here at the Museum.
Led by our scientists and covering a broad range of topics, these panel discussions dig deeper into our rich history, pioneering science and compelling collections.
Our scientists will be joined by an exciting line up of external speakers for a series of inspiring conversations that is not to be missed. Whether you want to learn about a new topic, delve into the world of scientific discovery or contribute to the discussion, these talks are perfect for you.
Dig Deeper: Dinosaur Behaviour
Scientists have long been fascinated by the behaviour of dinosaurs. However, for some time our understanding has been limited by a lack of fossil evidence when it comes to these long-extinct creatures. Following recent exciting discoveries, join Dr David Hone, author of the book Uncovering Dinosaur Behaviour: What They Did and How We Know, and our scientist Professor Paul Barrett as they discuss everything dinosaur behaviour.
New fossil finds and cutting-edge techniques are now allowing us to explore the big questions in dinosaur behaviour like never before. How did they behave with each other? How do we know what they really did? Why do we now consider dinosaurs to be more similar to birds than lizards? These are just some of the intriguing questions our experts will be delving into in our Dig Deeper talk.
Tickets are coming soon.
