The Feeding Habits of Carnivorous Dinosaurs
On Tuesday 17th July Tuesday 24th July we will be finding out more about dinosaur behaviour with Dr. David Hone.
Understanding the diet and feeding habits of long extinct species is a challenge, but it can provide an insight into predator-prey relationships, ecosystem structure and animal behaviour in past environments.

Dave is the founder of Ask A Biologist, he runs an excellent blog and he is one of the latest additions to the Guardian’s science blogging stable. He is also an active vertebrate palaeontologist involved in some really interesting research on dinosaurs, pterosaurs and birds. That means he isn’t just reporting on this topic – you’ll be hearing about the research, results and the fossils from the source.
Why not join him for an insight into the science used to explore the feeding habits of the mighty meat-eating dinosaurs – you may never see T. rex and Velociraptor in quite the same way again!
The talk will start around 7:45pm, but the venue (Upstairs at the Ritzy) will be open from 6pm for those who want food, a drink and a bit of geeky chat. Hope to see you there!
Oh yes, and it’s FREE!
PubSci 
Just to clarify: this is Brixton, UK? You mean I’ve found English social palaeo events? Was starting to think the other side of the pond held the patent.
Absolutely! I hope to see you there!
This is indeed Brixton UK – we don’t specialise in palaeo, but it’s definitely a good topic for PubSci!

Wish there were an internet stream with a chatbox for questions!
hi, thats a great idea, we would definitely love to add features like this to future pubsci’s! especially for the q and a section
