The ferocious Tyrannosaurus rex lived between approximately 68 to 66 million years ago, but a team of researchers that includes a Penn State Lehigh Valley professor has identified a new species of Tyrannosaurus that dates back even further — essentially an ancestor of the fearsomely named "tyrant lizard king.” They published their finding in Scientific Reports.
Students in grades six to eight looking to take a deep dive into various aspects of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields can find a treasure trove of information at an upcoming Penn State Lehigh Valley program. Robotics, forensics and zombie ants are among the hands-on workshop options.
As a part of Penn State’s 10th GivingTuesday event on Dec. 3, 2024, members of the Penn State Lehigh Valley community celebrated the milestone year by contributing more than $3,000 to the focus of the initiative, the Jerome and Martha Markowitz Music Room. The amount raised is being matched by an anonymous donor, for a total of $7,662 dollars raised.
