From Extinction to Resurrection?

There are dinosaurs among us.
Jack Horner, world-renowned paleontologist will speak at “How to Build a Dinosaur: Extinction Doesn’t Have to Be Forever,” Thursday, Feb. 11 at 7:30 p.m. in the Singletary Center for the Arts. He will speak about “dinosaurs among us,” the birds, and how humans can use them to create modern-day dinosaurs, according to a news release from UKNow.
Horner served as a technical adviser for the Jurassic Park films and was the partial inspiration for one of the main characters, Dr. Alan Grant. He also discovered the first dinosaur eggs in the Western Hemisphere, the first evidence of dinosaur colonial nesting, the first evidence of parental care among dinosaurs and the first dinosaur embryos, according to the Museum of the Rockies, where Horner is the curator of paleontology.
The event is sponsored by the UK College of Arts and Sciences, the Kentucky Geological Survey and the Kentucky Section of the American Institute of Professional Geologists.
