At 7pm, hear from punk rock paleontologist, Jingmai O&rsquo;Connor. Learn about Archaeopteryx, the oldest known bird, from its initial discovery to its perch as the icon of evolution. Discover why, after 164 years of research on a dozen specimens, the Chicago Archaeopteryx (lucky #13) still has much to teach us about the biology of this iconic species and the transition from dinosaur to dinosaur-bird.&nbsp;
Each ticket includes Happy Hour food and beverages, entrance to the Evolving Planet exhibition, and admission to the Archeopteryx lecture.&nbsp;
