Tonight: Dinosaurs on Draught & Science on Tap

December 14, 2009 in Philadelphia,Science with 1 Comment

Ah, dinosaurs. I have many fond memories of Jurassic Park, and one horrible one. I still have nightmares. But, Philadelphia is a fortunate city, currently home to the first dinosaur discovered in the USA (we stole it from NJ, take that fools), housed at the Academy of Natural Sciences. And tonight, you can chat  all about them, with a seasoned dino-professional.

Science on Tap, a monthly science cafe created by The Academy of Natural Sciences, the Chemical Heritage Foundation, the Mutter Museum, and the Wagner Free Institute, is hosting Dinosaurs on Draught tonight, featuring paleontologist Peter Dodson. He’ll chat with guests about dinosaurs, his new book, and probably go into vivid detail about why Jurassic Park IV shouldn’t happen.

These Science on Tap events take place monthly at National Mechanics, the choice hangout of Philadelphia geeks, and feature a new theme each month. Each museum takes turns, choosing the star of the night.

Go out, drink beer, talk about dinosaurs.

About Eric: Eric spends most of his time writing, taking pictures, reading, and hanging out with his (somewhat famous) chinchilla Mittens and bunny Rory. He teaches writing and literature at some local Philadelphia colleges and works in publishing. He knows absolutely nothing about sports, and is proud of it.

    Just for the “take that fools” you gave to your home state in this article, I’ll be forced to take something from Philly and put it on display in my home. Hint, it will be your dignity. Watch out.
