SUMMARY:Carnegie Discoverers: An Island in a Sea of Sand: Describing New Amphibians and Reptiles from Angola’s Most Mysterious Mountain
DESCRIPTION:Mariana P. Marques\,MS\, Collection Manager\, Section of Amphibians and Reptiles\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History \nRising to 8\,166 feet above sea level\, Serra da Neve is an isolated mountain surrounded by miles and miles of arid habitats in southwestern Angola. This extinct volcano harbors a well-preserved forest and rich but unexplored biodiversity. In the last few years\, my team and I have explored this lost world searching for amphibians and reptiles. What we found was beyond our wildest expectations. Learn about our findings\, hear the stories behind these expeditions\, and see how natural history collections play a fundamental role in species discovery and descriptions.  \nThis is a Carnegie Discoverers meeting. Membership to the Carnegie Discoverers opens doors to in-depth and up-close experiences with scientists\, exhibition designers\, and program directors across the museum. Become a member today to enjoy exclusive access to all the world-class scientific and educational treasures that Carnegie Museum of Natural History has to offer. Learn more about Carnegie Discoverers and how to join.

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Nittany Lions\, Peruvian Chinchillas\, and Mammalian Cognition:  25+ Years of Collaboration Between Penn State and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: “Nittany Lions\, Peruvian Chinchillas\, and Mammalian Cognition: 25+ Years of Collaboration Between Penn State and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History”\nSpeaker: Carolyn Mahan\, Penn State. \nSince 1994\, I have worked with the Section of Mammals at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History (CMNH) to explore conservation issues and to ask evolutionary questions locally and globally. In this lecture\, I will explore these projects starting with my initial project to return the “Original Nittany Lion” to The Pennsylvania State University. The original lion—a taxidermy specimen from the mid-1800s—was the inspiration for the Penn State mascot and was being stored at CMNH after being displayed at the Chicago’s World Fair. It took 100 years for it to find its way back to Penn State. I also have explored the plight of the short-tailed chinchilla—a critically endangered species of rodent native to the high Andean plateau. Its fur was so valuable that no specimens exist in any mammal collections in the western hemisphere. Curators and collection managers at CMNH helped discover specimens for me to study in the collections of Europe. Finally\, I examined cranial capacity of small mammals and brown bears using skulls curated at CMNH. Cranial capacity\, as a surrogate for cognitive ability\, permits my research team to better understand wild mammals’ abilities to adapt to novel\, human environments in the United States and Europe. \nThis event will take place Monday\, April 15\, 2024 at Noon in person at Earth Theater. \nSeminar 169 \n.

SUMMARY:Special Presentation: The Secret Lives of Dinosaurs
DESCRIPTION:“The Secret Lives of Dinosaurs”\nSpeaker: Julia A. Clarke\, Ph.D.\, University of Texas at Austin \nHow do we go beyond the bones to bring dinosaurs to life?
