Event Description

Dinosaurs tower over us in museum halls and roar across movie screens, but why do we love them so much? In this special Book Festival edition of our UI Explorers Seminar series, science writer and amateur paleontologist Brian Switek will explore how our affection for the “terrible lizards” has informed and altered our understanding of life’s history and our place in it.
