Description
Join us for a special edition of Afterlife Bar at WA Museum Boola Bardip in collaboration with Palaeo Jam Podcast as we delve into the topic of 'Raising the Dead'.Afterlife Bar is a pop up bar within WA Museum Boola Bardip's Discovering Ancient Egypt Exhibition. Every Friday night you can share a tipple with Tutankhamun, graze on a decadent mezze board, and uncover the secrets of this ancient civilization as the Museum transforms into a captivating after-dark experience with music, themed cocktails and expert talks.
In this special National Science Week edition we are joined by host Michael Mills in a live recording of the Palaeo Jam podcast for a fun and fascinating conversation with palaeontologist Professor Kate Trinajstic and archaeologist Dr Sven Ouzman into two sciences palaeontology and archeology, to explore the similarities between the two, including a keen interest in studying dead things and the very definite differences.
Michael Mills is an award-winning science communicator, script-writer, song-writer, producer, performer, director, podcast creator, and musician.
Professor Kate Trinajstic is a vertebrate palaeontologist and Research Fellow at Curtin University having recently been awarded an ARC QEII Fellowship “Fleshing out the fossil record’ in 2011 to investigate the development of the skeleton and specialised musculature in early vertebrates.
Dr Sven Ouzman is an archaeologist and heritage specialist working on archaeology, rock art, Indigenous knowledge and intellectual property. This work ranges from studying some of the oldest known sites of human occupation in the Kimberley at 50,000 years ago; dating the oldest known rock painting in a rock shelter in Australia at 17,200 years old – as well as the contemporary archaeologies of graffiti and homelessness in Perth/Boorloo today.
