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: Dani Berrera Guevara
A little about Dani: I am a research associate and student at University of Alaska's Museum of the North, I am also a scientific illustrator and paleoartist! My research focuses on horned dinosaur and tyrannosaur evolution; how and why they changed through time. In my free time I love to get creative by drawing and creating art; I love to encourage and promote an intrigue for dinosaurs, paleontology and all things science!
