About the event

NextGen STEAM
Discover what it takes to be a paleontologist with Molly Poniatowski — Middle School Science Teacher, Paleontologist and Author.

Explore fossils and learn about the amazing scientist Maria Matilda Ogilvie, one of the first female geologists whose groundbreaking work inspired Molly to pursue her own career as a scientist!

FREE with museum admission.

Molly Poniatowski is a middle school science teacher who always seeks out scientific adventure. With a background in geology, she spends her summers working with a paleontology team to discover fossils and assist in developing research. She has flown planes, saved oysters, and even participated in NASA Space simulations – all in the interest of learning all she can. Molly wrote a children’s book, Maria and the Mountains that Told Stories, that tells the story of one of her favorite scientists, Maria Matilda Ogilvie Gordon, and her adventure to never stop learning, exploring, and asking questions.
