Hendrik Poinar and the McMaster Ancient DNA Centre have partnered with the Ontario Science Centre and Ontario Genomics to open the Mammoths and Mastodons: Titans of the Ice Age exhibit. The exhibit showcases fossils and life-sized replicas of mammoths, mastodons, and other Pleistocene fauna allowing visitors to see and interact with the remains of these long-dead species. Visitor will also learn about the cutting edge techniques that paleontologists and paleogenetists use to extract information from extinct megafauna and learn about the past.
