Nathan Doerr

The Draper Natural History Museum’s popular, long-running Lunchtime Expedition lecture series resumes this month with a program by Nathan Doerr. The free talk takes place Thursday, Feb. 6 at 12:15 p.m. in the Buffalo Bill Center of the West’s Coe Auditorium.

Doerr joined the staff of the Draper Museum in October 2019 as the Willis McDonald IV Curator of Natural Science. In his presentation, he will introduce himself and discuss his background — as well as what’s on tap in this year’s Lunchtime Expedition series.

With degrees in environmental science and non-formal education, Doerr has worked in science, education and museums throughout his career.

Prior to his appointment as Draper curator, he held positions as an educator with the Teton Science School, a naturalist with Grand Teton National Park, as executive director of the Sheridan County Museum, and curator of education at the Wyoming State Museum.

The Draper Natural History Museum Lunchtime Expedition series is supported in part by Sage Creek Ranch and the Nancy-Carroll Draper Foundation. Talks in the series take place the first Thursday of each month from February through December. On March 5, Brian Beauvais presents “Sportsmen, Market-Hunters and Game-Hogs: The early years of wildlife conservation in Park County.”
