The Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes will host a presentation next Thursday, July 10th at 11:00 am to honor unsung hero Mary Anning!
Anning was an English pioneering fossil collector and paleontologist.
Her discoveries were some of the most important geological finds of all time, and yet she never received the credit that she was due because of her gender, education, and economic status.
Megan Sim, Paleontologist, Kansas University Biodiversity Institute & Natural History Museum, will speak to the community about her work as the first female paleontologist hired at KU since 1898, and about the amazing dinosaur collection housed at the University.
This presentation is sponsored by a grant from EVERGY.
