Sophie, the world’s most complete Stegosaurus

Dr Susannah Maidment

In December 2013, The Natural History Museum unveiled its latest acquisition: the most complete Stegosaurus ever found. Nicknamed Sophie, it offers us an unprecedented opportunity to study this fascinating and iconic, yet poorly understood, animal. Susannah, a vertebrate palaeontologist and sedimentologist, will talk about how Sophie was discovered and the cutting edge technology that is being used to understand all about Sophie.

Life on other planets

Professor Mark Sephton

Mark will discuss how we can use chemistry to investigate Mars's atmosphere and what it means for the possibility of life.
