Our July speaker is Dr. Andrew Rindsberg, Geologist and Paleontologist, and currently an Associate Professor at UWA.  Dr. Rindsberg presented this lecture at the Geological Survey of America conference earlier this year.  The lecture will be on Winnie McGlamery, a prominent female paleontologist.  Lecture notes have this to say about her:

"During her three decades with the Geological Survey of Alabama (1931 to 1961), Winnie McGlamery was a key figure in Alabama paleontology. She was a diminutive but feisty woman who arguably did more for the discovery of oil and gas fields than any other state employee during that time, for she logged the cores and cuttings of every permitted well for the Survey’s public files."

The program starts at 7pm, to be followed by our business meeting around 8pm.
