Denver area dinosaur lovers, treat yourself to this presentation- you’ll be well entertained and educated!

I'm thrilled to be heading back to Denver, Colorado! In just 6 weeks, join me for a couple of epic evenings at Denver Museum of Nature & Science.

Hear my talk, 'The Secret Lives of Dinosaurs and The Adventures of a Palaeontologist', followed by a Q&A and book signing. Aaaand, watch out for a special WHY DINOSAURS? movie screening announcement coming soon.

This event is part of the museum’s celebrations for the recently completed Sturm Family Wing, which will hold its grand opening next month.

It's been a few years since I last visited Denver. In fact, I first visited the museum in 2008, some 18 years ago. Half my lifetime. I’m excited to be heading back to rock the big stage. It's going to be an enormously fun event. See you soon!
