"Believe" 2: Sea Monsters (live)
People have reported seeing sea monsters for centuries — should we believe them?
In this 5-day live course, we’ll explore famous examples like Loch Ness’s “Nessie”, Lake Champlain’s “Champ”, and the ocean-going “Cadborosaurus”. We’ll investigate the paleontology of ancient marine reptiles, early whales, and bizarre sharks. Finally, using what we learned in “Bigfoot”, we’ll update our Bayesian priors (our assumptions) and compute our personal probabilities about sea monsters.
Dates:
5 days in a row
Monday June 23 – Friday June 27, 2025
Class times:
You have a choice of two live sessions:
Morning class: 12pm Eastern / 9am Pacific
Afternoon class: 4pm Eastern / 1pm Pacific
They’re about 90 minutes each.
Note: This is the second topic in our Believe it (or Not) summer camp series. To understand what’s going on, you’ll want to have taken “Bigfoot” before — you can purchase those recordings here.
