This event is part of a continuing series called Open Questions.
Each year we invite distinguished thinkers, researchers, and creators to share their ideas with an informed and curious audience.
Each guest begins with a presentation of about an hour's length, and then invites questioning and discussion from the audience for another hour.

"Tiktaalik roseae, a Transitional Fossil Between Fish and Amphibians".

Parking is free and available on campus.
