Behind the Science with Research Anthropologist and Curator of Human-Environment Interactions Dr. Torben Rick
One-Time Events
“The Fascinating Origins of Tuna and Billfish Fisheries”
Tuna and billfish are among the world’s most important large ocean predators and an important global food source. Millions of tons are caught every year. Despite significant declines in their populations, we know relatively little about tuna and billfish harvest prior to 20th century industrial exploitation. Smithsonian scientists are conducting archaeological, historical, and ecological research to understand the deep history of the fishery and help plan for the future sustainability of these critical fish.
This month, go behind the science with Research Anthropologist and Curator of Human-Environment Interactions Dr. Torben Rick who is exploring this untold history through archaeology and the restudying archaeological and historical tuna and billfishes in museum collections and in the field.
Bonus: find out how Dr. Torben Rick’s research connects the December Behind the Science expert, Dr. Katherine Bemis.

The Surprising Males of the Orangutan World
One-Time Events
Can you tell a male ape from a female just by looking? Scientists often try to do exactly that with fossils, but orangutans have a twist: adult males come in two very different forms. Come chat with our visiting expert Dr. Alexandra Kralick from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, test your skills sorting ape skull casts and find out what these “two kinds of males” teach us about orangutan lives and skeletons. Bring all your questions about our close evolutionary cousins!

Natural History on the Big Screen: The Great American Bison Roadtrip
One-Time Events
In March 2026, three monumental bronze bison embarked on an unlikely road trip bound for the Smithsonian and the fulfillment of a century-old promise. On March 19th, 2026, just in time for America’s 250th birthday, they arrived at the entrance of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History after an unlikely migration across the bison’s former range from Colorado to the National Mall.
Join us for a screening of The Great American Bison Roadtrip, the fast and fun documentary that follows their journey. Smithsonian Sant Director Kirk Johnson, sculptor Gary Staab, and filmmaker Trevor Hawkins lead us on a kinetic, funny, and deeply moving adventure through the bison’s near-eradication, survival, and extraordinary return, exploring what America nearly lost and what we still have the power to restore.
After the screening, join Kirk, Gary, and Trevor for a conversation and audience Q&A about the film and their adventures.

Paleoproteomics in Paleoanthropology
One-Time Events
The diversity and variation of Late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene species of early humans in southern Africa has been characterized based on the fossil evidence alone – until recently, with the emergence of paleoproteomics, the study of ancient proteins.
Dr. Palesa Madupe, postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, will present recent paleoproteomic research based on dental enamel proteins extracted from specimens of Homo naledi, Paranthropus robustus, and Australopithecus africanus.
Moderator: Dr. Briana Pobiner, paleoanthropologist and educator at Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History.
This program is part of the ongoing HOT (Human Origins Today) Topics series and will be presented as a Zoom video webinar. A link will be emailed to all registrants. Image caption: SK-48, a Paranthropus robustus fossil from Swartkrans, South Africa, Image credit: Smithsonian Human Origins Program.

"Mola molas and More: The Biology of Ocean Sunfishes"
Known for centuries for basking and seemingly sluggish behavior at the water’s surface, recent tagging studies show that ocean sunfishes swim over great horizontal and vertical distances in the water column at higher speeds than previously thought. NOAA and Smithsonian scientists are using new information about their natural history and behavioral ecology to reinterpret the evolution of the many unusual anatomical features of sunfish and its extreme body form.
This month, go behind the science with Dr. Katherine (Kate) Bemis, Research Zoologist at NOAA Fisheries’ National Systematics Lab and Curator of Fishes at National Museum of Natural History who is studying these unusual fishes in the field and in museum collections.

Wildlife and Wildfires: Chimp Behavior and Early Human Implications
One-Time Events
How do chimpanzees and other wildlife respond to fire in an East African mosaic–woodland ecosystem?
Dr. Alexander Piel, Associate Professor of Anthropology at University College London, will describe some species’ exploitation of burned landscapes as well as the costs and benefits associated with living with annual fires. These patterns provide insight into how animals adapt to increasingly frequent and widespread fires and highlight fire as a key selective pressure in African ecosystems. Ultimately, these findings offer a comparative framework for understanding how early hominins may have navigated fire-prone environments, shaping the evolutionary context of human-fire interactions.

Behind the Science with Paleontologist and Curator of Dinosauria Dr. Matthew Carrano
One-Time Events
Is the 21st Century the real Age of Dinosaurs?
Today, more paleontologists are discovering more dinosaur fossils from more places in the world than ever before. Our understanding of these amazing creatures has leapt forward while their popularity has surged. Museums sit at the junction of these phenomena.
The Smithsonian has been a center for dinosaur research for more than a century, and its collections include many iconic and scientifically important specimens. Today, Smithsonian researchers continue to discover new dinosaurs, but they are also uncovering more information about the ones we already know and love. New techniques and approaches allow them to investigate aspects of dinosaur biology, ecology, and evolution in ways that would have been inconceivable to early paleontologists. The result is an ever-improving understanding of dinosaurs as living, breathing, and thriving animals.
This month, go behind the science with paleontologist Dr. Matthew Carrano, Curator of Dinosauria at the National Museum…
