Has anyone done any exhibit work or educational programming about the
gender of dinosaurs?  This is a serious question, since most girls often
think that dinosaur displays are composed of male dinos fighting or
stealing food or protecting turf.  Eventually girls then lose interest
in one of their first "science" lessons.  So, I was wondering what
alternatives are out there to give a more balanced view. You can reply
to the list or to me at arock@home.com  Thanks.
