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: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:Under the Cherry Trees: From Old Japan to Washington\, D.C.
DESCRIPTION:(DC) (Japan Information and Cultural Center) In Japan\, people have long strolled under masses of cherry blossoms in a springtime tradition known as hanami (花見; flower viewing). Today\, millions of people enjoy a similar experience in Washington\, D.C.\, made possible through the combined efforts of Japanese and American individuals who shared a vision. Local writer Diana Parsell\, author of Eliza Scidmore: The Trailblazing Journalist Behind Washington’s Cherry Trees\, will share the history and symbolism of cherry blossoms in Japan and trace the remarkable story of how they came to grace the banks of the Potomac River. In this richly illustrated talk\, learn about the cultural and spiritual meanings behind hanami that has connected people\, places\, and histories across generations and continents.
