Carnegie Museum of Natural History

yeah but it did yeah went on tour all around the uk but of course there are equivalents of that so that diplodocus is actually um it's a cast of a number of different individuals and um The one in London was the first one to go on display before the original went on display.

The original is actually in a museum, in the Carnegie Museum in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

But there are copies cast of that mount in many museums.

So there's one in Paris.

Her path there wasn't a straight line.

She started in the medical device industry, then transitioned to the nonprofit sector, working at Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh and the Carnegie Museum Center and National Underground Freedom Center, learning along the way that success doesn't always follow the path that you expect it to.

When she arrived at Discovery Gateway Children's Museum, it was in the midst of the pandemic, and the museum was struggling.

Today, it's thriving, growing, and Kathleen was recently recognized as a finalist for Utah Business CEO of the Year.

And when my youngest daughter hit high school, I wa- I was desiring to spend more time with her in her last, you know, few years at home, and I started just, I don't even know what I was searching for, just searching.

[laughs] And I saw a similar title, a director level, so that's where I was at in the corporate world, and it was a director level.

It was over marketing and public relations, and it was for the Natural History Museum.

And I read the job description like 30 times, and I thought, "You know, I don't have the background they're looking for," because they wanted museum studies, and they were looking at, you know, p- people who had had experience with curation and all kinds of things that I didn't have that would make sense for a museum.

And so I never thought I was gonna go to culinary school, but I loved cooking since I was a little kid.

I got an Easy-Bake Oven for Hanukkah when I was seven, and I loved baking more than cooking because I'm, I'm a science nerd and I love going to science museums, like the Museum of Science and Industry and the Carnegie Museum.

I love science, and cooking is an art, but baking is a science.

And it was just so miraculous to me that, like, you could just mix ingredients and then it was a light bulb.

And, as with religion's ancient texts, many of today's scientists are finding holes in it.

This is the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Its fossil collection is seen by some scientists as challenging Darwin's theory of evolution.

And Professor Jeffrey Schwartz is a scientist who is turning Darwinism on its head.

Registration for our owl prowl event later this month is full, but this week I met with Ben Kehoe, a park ranger for Allegheny County Parks, who will be our guide, to learn more about Pennsylvania's owls.

Inside a park's building, he showed me some owl specimens on loan from the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.

We're looking at four of the species that are more common in Allegheny, starting from the big one, which is our great horned owl.

It has menacing talons used to catch and kill prey.

And perhaps the timeline itself is not so important, because stories do shift and slither and morph into entirely new forms, don't they? And there might be a few other remnants mixed in there, too.

Because, as the Carnegie Museum of Natural History explained, quote, there's also other folklore from this time surrounding what's known as ignis fatuus, or false fire.

These two legends began to intertwine when many people in the moors of the British Isles saw the naturally occurring marsh gas.

They attributed it to Stingy Jack.

Thorough, detailed work on Pennsylvania birds are needed.

Such volumes, one on Western Pennsylvania by W.E. Clyde Todd of the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh, and one on Eastern Pennsylvania by Dr. Whitmer Stone of the Philadelphia Academy of Arts and Sciences, are in the making now.

But it may be years before these completed volumes are ready for distribution, and in the meantime our budding ornithologists are carrying on their studies handicapped by a lack of any sort of reference work which is up-to-date, understandable, simple, and local in its treatment, and within reach of those of average means.

This volume has been prepared to meet this need.
