Tea & Talk with Dr David Waterhouse: Ice Age Time Machine
Join us at the Polar Museum for a free talk from Polar Museum Curator Dr David Waterhouse.
Ice Age Time Machine
Dr David Waterhouse trained as a palaeontologist and for the past 20 years has been involved in studying the animals that lived during that last Ice Age. He's been the curator of the Polar Museum since 2023 and we're thrilled to be welcoming him for a talk on one of his greatest passions.
From David:
Perhaps surprisingly, Norfolk in the East of England is home to world-renowned fossils of mammoth, woolly rhino, extinct bison and giant deer – all Ice Age ‘megafauna’, now long extinct. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to wander through the Ice Age, then let me take you on a journey – you might be surprised about what you discover (perhaps the Ice Age isn’t so far away after all!).
Tea & Talks are designed for a non-academic audience and offer the chance to learn something new in a friendly environment. Bring along a notepad (or just an open mind) and join us for a cuppa.
