Did you know that you share over 60% of your genetic makeup with a banana? And compared to other humans, you have 99.9% identical genes? It makes you wonder: if humans are separated from one another by a mere .01%, how can we still be so different? And what exactly do these different genes control? Join Dr. Bridget Chalifour, genomics scientist at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, to learn more about the incredible nature of genetics, mutations, and all the ways they make us unique. Register your classes today and get ready to talk DNA!

When you think of animal life in Madagascar, is the first thing that comes to mind fossils? If you said “no” and instead thought of dancing lemurs or adorable tenrecs, you might not be alone. But while the country is rich in its biodiversity today, it has a rich history of biodiversity in the past as well – the prehistoric past, in fact! Join the Denver Museum of Nature & Science to talk with some of the scientists studying Madagascar's former inhabitants: basketball-sized armored frogs, mammals with Swiss-cheese skulls, dome-headed dinosaurs, and much more. What do these amazing creatures tell us about the dino days? And what kind of international science community is built as humans study these fascinating fossils?
