SUMMARY:On the Heels of Dinosaurs (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:(MD) (Natural History Society of Maryland) Dinosaur tracks and other trace fossils provide important insights into the behaviors\, locomotion\, postures\, and environments of ancient creatures that are often difficult to glean from body fossils alone. Glen Kuban’s presentation will include an overview of the dinosaur tracks\, including basic types of tracks\, where they are found\, and how they are studied and documented. Glen will also discuss his 45+ years of first-hand research on the remarkably abundant\, varied\, and well-preserved dinosaur tracks in Texas\, and various debates and controversies surrounding them.

SUMMARY:Washington Through the Seasons: A Naturalist’s Journey (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:(DC) (Smithsonian Associates) The splendor of springtime in Washington is world-renowned\, owing largely to the Japanese flowering cherry trees that have encircled the Tidal Basin for over a century. Yet the cherry blossoms are a single aspect of the city’s spectacular flowering spring\, and spring is only one of the city’s vibrant seasons. \nSmithsonian Associates tour guide\, naturalist\, and nature-book author Melanie Choukas-Bradley leads a virtual journey of seasonal transformation in and around the nation’s capital.

SUMMARY:Evolution of the Bird Brain (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:(MD) (Natural History Society of Maryland) This talk explores the Mesozoic origin of avian flight from the perspective of the dinosaurian brain. Fossil reconstructions will be integrated with advanced imaging to test hypotheses on how the brain of theropods met the sensory and motor changes of this rare and radical behavioral innovation. \nAmy Balanoff is an assistant professor in the Center for Functional Anatomy & Evolution at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

SUMMARY:Wild & Wise: 19th Century Women and the Power of Nature
DESCRIPTION:(DC) (National Park Service) Step into sturdy boots and grab an imaginary field journal—it’s time to wander back to the 1800s! Long before hashtags and hiking gear\, adventurous women were roaming forests\, pressing wildflowers\, studying birds\, and turning curiosity into courage. They weren’t just admiring nature—they were helping spark the Naturalist Movement and laying the groundwork for conservation. \nJoin us to uncover the stories of these trailblazing women who transformed gardens\, fields\, and woodlands into spaces of science\, creativity\, and bold new ideas.
