This video and accompanying PDF (http://hdl.handle.net/2060/20010028790) represent the proceedings of the first Dino Fest conference, which was unprecedented in bringing together exhibits of dinosaurs and other fossils and attracting many of the world's leading paleontologists and science educators, students, and the public. This first Dino Fest consisted of scores of exhibits that included live and fossil plants, invertebrates and vertebrates. Lasting three weeks, the event concluded with a three-day symposium, providing dinosaur experts from around the country a forum to discuss their research and ideas with the public and other scientists. The document presents the talks of many of the scientists. The video is from an interactive television broadcast relayed by a NASA satellite that enabled children at remote locations to ask questions of a panel of dinosaur experts, literally reaching an audience around the world.
