Once upon a time, a paleontology expedition to dig up dinosaur bones might have been funded primarily by grants and major philanthropists. But KU's Natural History Museum has its eye on a tyrannosaurus rex, and if they succeed in bringing the specimen home from Montana this summer, guess who's footing the bill? You are, through crowd-sourcing. How the crowd-funding model is changing education, from grade school classrooms to university museums.
Guests:
- David Burnham, paleontologist, University of Kansas Biodiversity Institute
- Jen Humphrey, director of external affairs, KU Natural History Museum
- Virginia Zetmeier, art teacher, North Kansas City Schools
