Meet Dr Alex Liu and Professor Dave Norman from the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge. Find out what it's like working as a palaeontologist, and get hands-on with fun activities relating to their research. Alex uses fossils and rocks to explore the very earliest animals on Earth, and Dave investigates dinosaurs, including Iguanodon, whose skeleton you'll meet as you enter the Museum. Perhaps you'll be inspired to become a palaeontologist too!
