The Splendid Scalpel - Dinosaur Birds

Get to know birds and dinosaurs inside and out!

Join artist and educator Christopher DiPiazza, and taxidermist Divya Anantharaman to engage with these ancient creatures in a truly unique webinar! Our subject will be the connection between birds and dinosaurs - as Divya demonstrates the taxidermy process on a juvenile rhea, Chris will discuss the unique characteristics of this bird, and others, that connect to their fascinating predecessors!

Christopher DiPiazza has a degree in Animal Science from Rutgers University where he did most of his lab work and research on reptiles. Most of his professional experience is working at both private and AZA zoos as a keeper and educator. He has also worked at the American Museum of Natural HIstory in New York, the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, and the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge in Philadelphia. Chris uses his background in zoology in his paleoart, creating paintings of prehistoric animals for museums, books, and scientific publications. Chris currently lives in Maryland with his wife, Teresa, their two cats, and a bunch of reptiles and amphibians.
