The fascinating world of "rock-plants"
Chris Mays (NHM Wien)
Meet Dr. Chris Mays, our resident palaeobotanist, who has dedicated his professional life to exploring the secrets of prehistoric plants, and what they can tell us about climate changes, past and present.
At this event, you'll learn what it takes to become an expert on fossils, why "rock-plants" are so fascinating, and what has taken Dr. Mays from Australia to the Natural History Museum in Vienna! He will answer your questions, show you a rare view on ancient plants and why they are such an interesting field to study!
This event will be held in English.
