Join us on Friday, February 21 for the FAU Frontiers in Science talk: “Digital Dinosaurs and Diseases” presented by Ryan Carney, Ph.D.

Join us as professor and National Geographic Explorer Ryan Carney shares his work using innovative 3D technologies to research and teach about dinosaurs and diseases, from Archaeopteryx to Zika. Carney's work brings flying dinosaurs "back to life" using X-ray imaging, computer animation, and virtual and augmented reality. His lab also develops digital tools for predicting and preventing outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases. Stick around after the talk to check out some exciting items like the HoloLens AR headset and a slide of mummified dino skin!

The 2020 FAU Frontiers in Science lecture series runs from Friday, January 17 through Wednesday, May 20. We have experts this season from a range of scientific disciplines who are coming to FAU to speak about: A.I. and machine learning, the geology of glaciers, the biology of extreme movement, ways mathematical modeling is changing the world, understanding the big bang, a look inside nanomachines, and more! Science Dean, Dr. Ata Sarajedini states, “My hope is that these lectures move you to deeper learning, explain your world, ignite your discussions, and bring the richness of the sciences to you.”
