Instructor: Ben Cragun
A little about your instructor: i am a graduate student studying Late Cretaceous dinosaurs from northern Alaska. I am interested in learning more about whether these dinosaurs lived here throughout the year and, if they did, how they survived the cold and dark winters. Aside from my research, I love to write, play board games, and help people gain a love for science and education.
Assistant: Xochitl Munoz
A little about Xochitl: I am an undergraduate at UAF majoring in geoscience with a concentration in paleontology. I study ancient arctic mammals who lived alongside dinosaurs at the Museum of the North. I am very excited to be helping with Dino Camp!
