 This year we celebrate [National Fossil Day 2020](https://www.nps.gov/subjects/fossilday/national-fossil-day-2020-artwork.htm) through various events hosted by the [Harvard Museum of Natural History](https://hmnh.harvard.edu/). On October 14th 2020, check out the free webinar entitled "***Wonderful Cambrian Beasts*****"**, part of the [Evolution Matters Lecture Series](https://hmnh.harvard.edu/calendar/upcoming)*,* where Javier talks about how exceptonally preserved fossils allow us to understand the early evolution of animals (link [HERE](https://hmnh.harvard.edu/calendar/past_events)).

 On October 22nd 2020, several members of the lab will participate in a special event focused on the importance of museum fossil specimens. The program includes demonstrations and discussions by Sarah Losso, RJ Knecht, Stephen Pates, Jessica Cundiff and Mark Renczkowski, covering a broad range of modes of fossilization and timescales. We are also joined by vertebrate paleontologists Katrina Jones and Meg Whitney from Stephanie Pierce's group.
