April 18, 2021 – Go behind the scenes at the Raymond Alf Museum of Paleontology with paleontologist, outreach educator and National Geographic Grosvenor Teacher Fellow Gabe Santos. Get a remote tour of the museum, renowned for its Hall of Footprints, and then go behind the scenes to tour the inner workings of a paleontology museum. Gabe will tell us about collection practices and oh, did we mention there is a cocktail/mocktail menu? 

Gabriel Santos is a paleontologist and educator at the Alf Museum of Paleontology in Los Angeles, California. He received his B.Sc. in biology at University of California-Irvine, and his M.Sc. in geology at California State University-Fullerton.

He is also a National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions Grosvenor Teacher Fellow.
