Image2022 Darwin Day with NABT & NCSE

Thursday, February 10th
7:00PM – 8:30PM ET (6:00PM CT / 5:00PM MT / 4:00PM PT)Snakes are really odd, really successful kinds of lizards. They are so successful and so unusual that most people don’t even think they are lizards. The origin of snakes has led to a deep well of questions: When and why did they lose their limbs? Why don’t snakes have eyelids? What’s up with all the tongue flicking?

Join us for a special encore presentation of the popular “Squamate Speciation Symposium” that was presented during the 2021 NABT Conference in Atlanta. This session will explore the origins of limblessness, the discovery of the largest snake of all time, Titanoboa cerrejonensis, and how 3D imaging of museum specimens opens up a whole new world of opportunities for scientists and educators alike.
