SUMMARY:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar: The Colors of Dinosaurs
DESCRIPTION:Talk: The Colors of Dinosaurs: Using the Fossil Record and Living Birds to Determine Extinct Animal Coloration \nSpeaker: Dr. Sarah Davis\, Collection Manager of Paleobiology\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History \nWhen: Thursday\, October 9\, 2025\, 6:00–7:00 p.m. \nWhere: Art Theater and online via Zoom; Reception to follow in Café Carnegie \nTickets: Free. Museum admission not required. \nDr. Sarah Davis\, Collection Manager of Paleobiology\, will present her research on determining the colors of extinct dinosaurs using both fossil evidence and insights from living animals. While many fossils show that dinosaurs could have had black\, brown\, grey\, and even shiny colors\, not all pigments will fossilize. By looking at the evolution of pigments in living animals\, along with evidence from the fossil record\, it is possible to infer if dinosaurs may have also been able to express bright colors such as red\, yellow\, and pink. Dr. Davis will discuss which dinosaurs may have been most likely to express these vivid colors\, and ongoing challenges in the field of paleo-coloration. \nPlease join us for a reception in Café Carnegie immediately following the seminar. \nRegistration is required to attend R.W. Moriarty Science Seminars. Sign-up below to attend in person or click here to join us via Zoom.  \n[swcheckout site=”6″ item=”136134″] \n  \n  \n  \n  \nUpcoming R.W.

SUMMARY:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar: Leading Powdermill Field Station and Nature Reserve into the Future
DESCRIPTION:Talk: Science\, Conservation\, and Community: Leading Powdermill Field Station and Nature Reserve into the Future \nSpeaker: Dr. Mary Janecka\, Director of Powdermill Field Station and Nature Reserve \nWhen: Monday\, November 10\, 2025\, 12:00–1:00 p.m. \nWhere: Carnegie Library Lecture Hall and online via Zoom \nTickets: Free. Museum admission not required. \nDr. Mary Janecka\, the new Director of Powdermill Field Station and Nature Reserve\, will present past research and plans for leading the team to advance the station’s scientific research\, applied conservation efforts\, and public outreach initiatives. Fieldwork has long been at the heart of Mary’s own scientific journey\, and she has contributed to making field experiences more accessible and welcoming to all.  Janecka’s own research on host-parasite interactions (primarily in riverine ecosystems) and how these are affected by anthropogenic change has immediate relevance to the Western Pennsylvania region. Her research combines behavioral ecology\, genetics\, and conservation; it spans both aquatic and terrestrial systems\, and across organism groups—from snakes to migratory birds to ticks. With this multidisciplinary expertise\, Janecka is uniquely positioned to further elevate Powdermill’s scientific profile and impact. \nRegistration is required to attend R.W.

SUMMARY:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar: Insect Double Feature
DESCRIPTION:Dr. David Wagner\, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at University of Connecticut\, is a world authority on insect biodiversity\, insect conservation\, and matters of global change. On December 1\, he will give two separate talks at Carnegie Museum of Natural History: one discussing the global decline of insect populations\, and a second talk focusing on caterpillars and their role in ecology and evolutionary biology. Registration is required to attend R.W. Moriarty Science Seminars\, read on for full details and registration options for both talks. \nTalk: Insect Declines in the Anthropocene \nWhen: Monday\, December 1\, 2025\, 12:00–1:00 p.m. \nWhere: Art Theater and online via Zoom \nTickets: Free. Museum admission not required. \nAs the human population has expanded in the last century\, global insect populations are declining at a concerningly rapid rate. Significant decreases in both species and populations of insects have been reported\, thought to result from “a thousand cuts” including pesticide use\, agricultural intensification\, shifts in climate and human-induced changes to their native environments. Dr. David Wagner\, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at University of Connecticut\, is a world authority on insect biodiversity\, insect conservation\, and matters of global change. In recent years\, he has become an expert on insect decline\, publishing both academic and general public articles on the subject. \nSign-up below to attend in person or click here to join us via Zoom.  \n[swcheckout site=”6″ item=”136136″] \n  \n  \n  \n  \nTalk: Caterpillars: Their Use in Biosystematics\, Diversity\, and Ecology Studies \nWhen: Monday\, December 1\, 2025\, 4:00–5:00 p.m. \nWhere: Art Theater and online via Zoom \nTickets: Free. Museum admission not required. \nDr. Wagner will highlight discoveries from five decades of biosystematic studies on Lepidoptera. This informal presentation will feature stunning images of caterpillars\, their natural history\, and how larval life history data has been used to answer big questions in ecology and evolutionary biology. Time allowing\, he will provide a status update of a multi-volumed guide to the Caterpillars of Western North America (Princeton University Press). \nSign-up below to attend in person or click here to join us via Zoom.  \n[swcheckout site=”6″ item=”136538″] \n  \n  \nUpcoming R.W.
