The Science Behind the Story: PBS's Nova Depiction of Mass Extinctions

Join WSKG for a special screeing of Nova scienceNOW's "Dinosaur Plague" and "Mass Extinction" with commentary from local experts.  Over the years, scientists have suggested everything from global climate change to a spate of massive volcanic eruptions to the most widely accepted culprit: an asteroid that unleashed global devastation.  Could these giant reptiles have been taken down by something almost too tiny to see?  General public welcome!

Special guests include: 

• Dr. Warren Allmon, Director of the Paleontological Research Institution and its Museum of the Earth and the Hunter R. Rawlings III Professor of Paleontology at Cornell University
• Dr. Christopher McRoberts, Professor of Geology SUNY Cortland
• Dr. Robert Ross, Associate Director for Outreach at Paleontological  Research Institution

Come find out on April 3rd at 7 p.m. at SUNY Cortland, Sperry Hall Room 105.
