Science in the Virtual Pub is a bi-weekly program where you can grab a drink and engage in some friendly science!

Don Haas, Jonathon Hendricks, Alexandra Moore, Robert Ross, The Paleontological Research Institution Earth@Home, a new resource from PRI, is rich with free interactive content about Earth and its life, with a focus on geology, paleontology, climate, and the connections of Earth’s different systems. Designed for anyone who wants to learn more about the history of the Earth and its life, Earth@Home provides opportunities to explore the geology right outside their door and around the world through Here on Earth, dig into an array of topics in the Digital Encyclopedia of Earth Science and participate in a range of investigations through Virtual Fieldwork, Virtual Labs, and Virtual Collections. For this session of Science in the Virtual Pub, we’ll give a quick tour of these resources followed by a discussion on how and why the resource was created and how it is likely to grow in the coming years.
