Moore-1  Tuesday, Jan. 7 15:45 – 16:45  Prehistoric Road Trip: Crafting a Story 2 Billion Years in the Making GRASLIE, EG; Field Museum, Chicago IL egraslie@fieldmuseum.org

If you were to tell a story about your science, what narratives or examples would you highlight? Where would you start? Who would you include? Paleontology is a field of science that relies on collaborations spanning organizations, institutions, cultures, and generations. In this presentation, I will address some of these questions and share insights gained from my time in production on “Prehistoric Road Trip,” an upcoming three-hour series for PBS about the study of geology and the fossil record in the Northern Great Plains of the United States. The overall goal is to share experiences that can help others communicate their science to a broad array of audiences, no matter the platform or medium.
