Newt’s World – Episode 202: Reimagining Dinosaurs

If the film Jurassic Park was made today, the dinosaurs would have feathers.  With a flood of new fossil discoveries and technological innovations, the latest dinosaur discoveries are inspiring paleontologists to rethink much of what we know about them.  Newt’s guest is Michael Greshko, science writer at National Geographic.


Newt hosts monthly virtual events in which he discusses news of the day and why it matters to you and your community. These Newt Live events are your opportunity to communicate directly with Newt. We hope you will join us next time and let Newt answer your questions and provide his insight on the issues that concern you most.
