Mary Anning is a 19th century paleontologist responsible for the discovery
of Dino-Age creatures such as ichthyosaurs, pleisosaurs, and pterosaurs.
She hung out with and provided invaluable fossil specimens to classic White
Dude Scientists like Georges Cuvier Richard Owen, but despite her
discoveries, Mary Anning didn't get sh*t. Meaghan Emery-Wetherell and Amy
Atwater consider themselves her revenge - by running the super funny, super
NSFW blog Mary Anning's Revenge.
Join us to learn about Mary's life, Amy's nose, Meaghan's indifference to
humans, why the ever-constant title of "woman scientist" v plain ole
"scientist" can be both empowering and problematic.
