He is heavily engaged in training the next generation of scientists. Taking full advantage of his lab’s unique focus promotes and inspires inquiry among students of all ages. Dr. Holliday hosts educational classes, workshops and online modules for K-beyond groups through his Inside Dinosaurs STEM education & Outreach Program. He manages the Annual Dinosaurs & Cavemen Science Expo each Spring at Rock Bridge High School in conjunction with the Columbia Schools Planetarium. The event shares topics and research with the community through a host of activities and displays.
