Rebecca Wragg Sykes is an archaeologist, writer, and creative professional. She has been fascinated with the past since childhood, and was especially drawn to the ancient world of the Palaeolithic. Her doctoral thesis was the first synthesis of evidence for late Neanderthals in Britain.
Get a special tour behind the scenes in the fossil prep lab at the National Museum of Natural History with fossil preparator Michelle Pinsdorf. She will show you how she cleans, prepares, and protects fossils that come to the museum from the field. She and paleobiologist Karma Nanglu will answer your questions and connect you to this important and fun work.
How to Join: The webinar will be presented on Zoom video; a link will be emailed to registrants and posted on this website before the program.
The exploration of natural history doesn't have to just happen at the museum - it can happen in your home too!
