Every other week tune in for a live-streamed discussion with an NHMLAC curator or researcher. Explore the newest research projects that continue to be conducted by museum staff, see rare specimens hand-picked by our presenter, and get your questions answered in real time. 

Dr. Emily Lindsey

Join Dr. Emily Lindsey, Assistant Curator and Excavation Site Director at La Brea Tar Pits to discuss the evidence for what caused this greatest extinction of the Cenozoic, and the lessons it may hold for today. At the end of the last Ice Age, the vast majority of earth’s large mammals became extinct during a time of extreme climate changes and rapidly increasing human populations.  Despite decades of research, the relative contribution of these factors to the megafaunal extinction is still hotly debated.

Attending is easy!

Happy Horus will be streamed using Zoom, a modern enterprise video communications platform for video and audio conferencing, collaboration, chat and webinars across mobile devices and desktops. 

If you're new to Zoom, no problem! The Fellows Office is here to help you sign up, register or to answer any other questions you might have. Contact us at 213.763.3253 or fellows@nhm.org.
