Science On Screen: Jurassic Park

Special presentation led by Dr. Anthony J. Martin, Emory University Sunday, March 22, 2015 from 3:30pm – 7pm, Auditorium Everyone remembers the first time they saw Jurassic Park (1993), which is still considered the most iconic of all dinosaur-themed movies. But have you watched it with a paleontologist? Join us as paleontologist and author Dr. Anthony Martin shares the science behind some of the most iconic scenes from this film. Was the Velociraptor a pack hunter? How did Brachiosaurus chew its food? Was Tyrannosaurus really a fierce predator, or it did it mostly scavenge?
