DinoFest 2023 DinoBite Speaker: Tim Lee

DinoBite Talk

Date and Time: Sunday, January 29, 2:00 p.m.–2:25 p.m.

Title of Lecture: I Ran Into a Dinosaur and Lived to Talk About It

Lecture Description: Most people will run into a dinosaur at some point in their lives. A few of us turn a chance encounter into a passion and then a career. But all of us can participate in the adventure of paleontology and participate in exciting new discoveries. As an exhibit designer, I’ve worked with diverse teams to develop dinosaur exhibitions over the years. See what it takes to make a dinosaur exhibition. Next time you run into a dinosaur, what adventure will you choose?

Bio: Tim Lee has worked at the Natural History Museum of Utah for over 20 years. As Director of Exhibits he manages the Special Exhibits program and works with his team to develop, design, and fabricate original in-house exhibitions like, Weaving a Revolution, Nature All Around Us, and the upcoming, Climate of Hope. He says that exhibition design, at its essence, is storytelling through space and time. He works with diverse, multi-disciplinary teams to communicate science in memorable and surprising ways.
