One Day Class on POISONS at the AMNH

Mikro had a blast at Prof. Wendy R's one day class on Poisons at AMNH. We saw the special exhibit on Poisons and also looked at the anthropology collections for various regions around the world, including Africa and North and South America. Mikro really enjoyed the Harry Potter-ish book of poisonous plant lore, the you be the detective cases to solve, and getting to assist in the live presentation about forensic toxicology.

World's Largest Dinosaurs: Sauropods on Exhibit at AMNH

We made a second trip to the AMNH's new dinosaur exhibit. That was partly because Paleo Boy begged, and also because the opening scene of my mystery story is set at this exhibit, and I wanted to check that I got the details right...

Mikro had a blast with all of the hands on displays, and the faux dino dig.
