What is Fossils for our Future?
What can fossils tell us about our past and future? Find out by becoming a palaeontology citizen scientist, and work on real fossils at University College Cork! We are looking for adults of all ages who can commit at least 3 hours per week with an interest in science and a fascination with fossils. Participants will develop their skills in fossil preparation, microscopy, collection management, 3D imaging, macro photography, and science communication.
If you are interested in joining a community of science-minded folks, preparing fossils in a welcoming environment and making contributions to science that will last for generations, we encourage you to sign up for Fossils for our Future!
