Science on Tap to explore the science of ‘Jurassic Park’
When Austin Peay State University’s Science on Tap returns to Strawberry Alley Ale Works on March 1, Dr. Catherine Haase, Dr. Kallina Dunkle and Phil Roberson will explore the science portrayed in the 1993 movie “Jurassic Park.”
They’ll discuss inaccuracies in the movie and the common misconceptions that the movie spawned about dinosaurs. They’ll also talk about the creative liberties that filmmakers take to not always get the science right.
The three will speak at “Science in the Movies: Jurassic Park Edition” at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 1, at Upstairs at Strawberry Alley on the second floor of Strawberry Alley Ale Works.
Science on Tap meets at 5:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of every month, bringing together two great things: science and local brews. Science on Tap is hosted by Austin Peay’s College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
