Great Crises in the History of Life



Prof Tim Flannery

 The Monash Science Centre has a new exhibition - Great Crises in the History of Life.  Tonight the exhibition was opened by Professor Tim Flannery, Chief Commissioner of the Australian Climate Commission and 2007 Australian of the Year.  Prof Flannery spoke about the importance of Science Education that allows students to explore, and how exhibitions like this one can contribute towards that.  Afterwards he was kind enough to answer a few questions, sign a few books and chat to some of the students and diggers.

The Australian Geographic magazine this month has an article on a new dinosaur site near Winton in Queensland.  Check out palaeontologist Dr Stephen Poropat proudly wearing his 2003 Dinosaur Dreaming volunteer T-shirt.
