NATIONAL Science Week will be launched at Forge Mill Museum on Sunday with a talk related to its current exhibition 'Discovering Dinosaurs'.

Palaeontologist Mike Howgate will take a look at theories of dinosaur extinction by presenting new evidence and reviewing previous bids to solve the mystery of their demise.

Museum spokeswoman Sue Werner said: "Mr Howgate has recently enthralled audiences of all ages with his enthusiastic and informative presentations about dinosaurs."

It starts at 2pm. To book a place, call 62509.
