Podcasts about Fossil

Ray and Dave talk with vertebrate paleontologist Melanie During, who read the growth rings in fossil fish from the Tanis site and pinned the death of the dinosaurs to a single spring, 66 million years ago.

Story Transcript:Ca: Al Museu d'Història Natural de Barcelona, les fulles de tardor pintaven un paisatge vibrant fora del vitrall de la gran entrada.En: At the Museu d'Història Natural de Barcelona, the autumn leaves painted a vibrant landscape outside the stained glass of the grand entrance.Ca: Els visitants es congregaven emocionats, esperant contemplar l'esperada exposició del fòssil raríssim, una peça estrella que havia recorregut diversos continents abans d'arribar aquí.En: Visitors congregated excitedly, waiting to behold the eagerly anticipated exhibition of the exceedingly rare fossil, a star piece that had traveled across various continents before arriving here.Ca: Oriol, el diligent curador del museu, mirava amb atenció l'entrada.En: Oriol, the diligent curator of the museum, watched the entrance attentively.Ca: Era un home de mitjana edat, amb ulleres arrodonides i una passió secreta pel món de la paleontologia.En: He was a middle-aged man, with round glasses and a secret passion for the world of paleontology.Ca: Sabia la importància d'aquesta exposició i el risc que suposava qualsevol error.En: He knew the importance of this exhibition and the risk posed by any error.Ca: De sobte, va rebre una trucada que li glaçà la sang: el fòssil havia desaparegut.En: Suddenly, he received a call that chilled his blood: the fossil had disappeared.Ca: Alarmat, va buscar a Gemma, una periodista de ment aguda que cobria l'exposició.En: Alarmed, he sought out Gemma, a sharp-minded journalist covering the exhibition.Ca: Gemma, amb cabells curts i una llibreta sempre a mà, va acceptar ajudar-lo a investigar.En: Gemma, with short hair and a notebook always at hand, agreed to help him investigate.Ca: Vols saber la veritat, li digué, mentre unia forces amb ell en secret.En: You want to know the truth, she told him, as she secretly teamed up with him.Ca: Laia, la jove voluntària, passava desapercebuda, amb els seus ulls joves i plens de curiositat.En: Laia, the young volunteer, passed unnoticed, with her young eyes full of curiosity.Ca: Però amb un ull atent, observava els visitants i les sales del museu.En: But with a keen eye, she watched the visitors and the museum rooms.Ca: Tot i ser nova, tenia una intuïció especial per detectar detalls que altres ignoraven.En: Despite being new, she had a special intuition for detecting details that others

de trobar el fòssil abans que el museu patís una vergonya pública.En: They had to find the fossil before the museum suffered public disgrace.Ca: La pressió creixia.En: The pressure was mounting.Ca: A cada sala, cada expositor era examinat amb minuciositat.En: Every room, every display case was examined meticulously.Ca: L'ansietat de l'obertura plana pel museu com un murmuri inquietant.En: The anxiety of the opening hovered over the museum like an unsettling murmur.Ca: Finalment, amb l'ajuda de Laia, Oriol i Gemma van descobrir una compartiment amagat dins d'un expositiu que semblava inofensiu.En: Finally, with Laia's help, Oriol and Gemma discovered a hidden compartment within an exhibit that seemed innocuous.Ca: Allà, perfectament ocult, hi havia el fòssil desaparegut.En: There, perfectly concealed, was the missing fossil.Ca: En aquell moment, Oriol va comprendre que Laia era més que una simple voluntària.En: At that moment, Oriol realized that Laia was more than just a volunteer.Ca: Tenia un coneixement profund del tema, i la seva motivació era protegir el fòssil de ser explotat comercialment.En: She had a deep knowledge of the subject, and her motivation was to protect the fossil from being commercially exploited.Ca: Amb el fòssil recuperat just a temps per a l'obertura, Oriol va alleujar-se.En: With the fossil recovered just in time for the opening, Oriol felt relieved.Ca: Amb la discreció d'un curador savi, va felicitar Laia per la seva intuïció i li va oferir un paper més important en futures exposicions.En: With the discretion of a wise curator, he

Scientists announced the discovery of a new fossil at the National Geographic Society in Washington. Scientists from the Dinosaur Museum in Blanding, Utah, and the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing, China, announced the discovery of a so-called "missing link." The feathered fossil was clearly a bird, but it had the tail of a small dinosaur. They named it Archaeoraptor.The fossil from China was not excavated by scientists and its history was uncertain. It possessed the specialized shoulders and chest typical of birds, but it had the long tail identical to some small dinosaurs. After the announcement, scientists proceeded to study the fossil in detail. They found that a few bones that would have connected the tail to the bird body were missing. After more study, they concluded that they had been fooled. Someone had taken the fossilized tail of a dromeosaurid and made it look as if it had been part of the fossil bird. The scientists involved admitted they made a mistake by not examining the fossil before they announced the discovery of a "missing link." Like so many "missing links" before, this one was a hoax.Every uncontested "missing link" that was ever "discovered" has suffered the same fate as Archaeoraptor. That these "discoveries" are announced before they are studied illustrates that evolution is nothing more than a faith. It is a deceitful faith, and the truth will only be found in the Bible.Proverbs 12:20“Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.”Prayer: Dear Father, let me never be deceived and led away from Your truth. Amen.Ref: Science News, "All mixed up over birds and dinosaurs."  To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1232/29?v=20251111

As Israel and the US carry out devastating attacks on Iran, the Canadian oil industry and some politicians are seeing it as an opportunity to expand fossil fuel production. Nick Gottlieb argues the fossil fuel industry is replaying its 2022 playbook, when they used Russia's war in Ukraine to effectively destroy the Western climate movement. Nick Gottlieb is a climate writer and author of the newsletter Sacred Headwaters. We spoke with him in March from Terrace, BC.

Where did we come from? How did humanity, with our complicated civilizations and all our human quirks and foibles, come to be? Much of what we know about those questions traces back to important fossil finds in Ethiopia. Paleoanthropologist Yohannes Haile-Selassie has been key in that hunt for answers. A skilled fossil-finder, he's helped discover some of the most important known hominid fossils, including the bones used to describe the 2.5-million-year-old Australopithecus garhi, the first pieces of a 4.4-million-year-old partial skeleton of Ardipithecus ramidus, and fossils of the 5.8-million-year-old Ardipithecus kadabba, to name a few.He joins Host Flora Lichtman to talk about what fieldwork is really like, big questions in human origins, and making the field of paleoanthropology more equitable. Guest:Dr. Yohannes Haile-Selassie is the director of the Institute of Human Origins at Arizona State University, and a professor in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

It's probably just as well that no actual dinosaur bones were found here; the spiteful, unprofessional “cowboy paleontology” practiced by O.C. Marsh and E.D. Cope left Oregon's pioneer scientists profoundly unimpressed as it was.

Afgelopen vrijdag vertelden we je al dat AI-bedrijven zich zorgen maken om wat ze zelf gecreëerd hebben. Vandaag slaan die zorgen ook over op beleggers. Techaandelen wereldwijd gaan in de uitverkoop en de Nederlandse chipbedrijven worden bepaald niet gespaard. De grote Amerikaanse AI-bedrijven willen een rem op de ontwikkeling van kunstmatige intelligentie. Beleggers vinden dat voldoende aanleiding voor een flinke correctie. In hoeverre een rem op AI die chipbedrijven ook echt kan raken, en wat meer interne controle op losgeslagen AI-modellen nou betekent voor AI-bedrijven, bespreken we deze aflevering. Daarin hoor je ook over Euronext, de uitbater van onder meer de AEX. Euronext is de afgelopen paar jaar flink gegroeid met overnames hier en daar. Maar voor topman Stéphane Boujnah is het niet genoeg: hij wil samen Deutsche Börse. Dan gaat het volgens onze gast vooral om het toevoegen van de beurs van Frankfurt aan Euronext, want Deutsche Börse is met zijn derivatenbusiness véél groter dan zijn concurrent. Terwijl die ene aandeelbeurs prima past in het kleinere imperium van Boujnah. We bespreken hoe leuk het is om te beleggen in beursgenoteerde beurzen én wat een fusie voor jou als belegger kan betekenen. Vertellen we ook nog over: Wat de nieuwe naam van Novo Nordisk wordt Hoeveel geld Jochem verbrandde toen hij zijn collectie Pokémonkaarten weggaf aan een jonge bezoeker van BNR De grootste Afrikaanse beursgang ooit De beursgang van Anthropic én de tweede keer (operationele) winst Te gast: Thijs Buitenhuis van Norbury Capital BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen.

Word of mouth is the absolute best way to support any creative endeavor. Clean energy is now the cheapest power humanity has ever built. Solar and wind beat coal and gas on price, and last year they grew fast enough to cover the world's entire increase in electricity demand. The technology works. The costs keep falling. The only thing slowing it down is people who profit from the old way of doing things. Fossil fuel interests spend enormous sums to protect their business. They fund campaigns, shape legislation, and stall the shift to cleaner, cheaper energy. That is not a market at work. That is a market being held back. So here is the call to action: pay attention to who your representatives listen to. Ask them where they stand on clean energy. Vote like your electricity bill and your grandkids depend on it, because they do. The sun keeps shining. The wind keeps blowing. Let's stop letting anyone stand between us and the cheapest, cleanest power ever made. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/.

Människans språk uppstod någon gång under vår evolutionära historia, när våra förfäders förmåga att kommunicera fick utvecklas i sociala miljöer där samarbete och tillit lönade sig. Exakt när detta skedde vet forskarna inte.Språket är en av de egenskaper som tydligast skiljer människan från andra djur. Många djur kommunicerar på avancerade sätt, men det mänskliga språket är öppet och produktivt: vi kan skapa och förstå yttranden som aldrig tidigare har formulerats. Språket gjorde det möjligt att samordna handlingar, dela kunskap och föra erfarenheter vidare mellan generationer.Enligt lingvisten Sverker Johansson kan en avgörande fas i språkets utveckling ha inträffat hos Homo erectus för omkring 1,5 miljoner år sedan. Det är dock en hypotes – det finns inga direkta spår av talat språk i fossilmaterialet. Under en mycket lång utveckling kan gester, läten och andra former av kommunikation gradvis ha utvecklats till allt mer komplexa språkliga system och så småningom till de berättelser som bär vår kultur.I avsnitt 115 av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Sverker Johansson, fysikern som blev lingvist och som är verksam vid Högskolan Dalarna. Han är författare till På spaning efter språkets ursprung, utgiven av Natur & Kultur. På spaning efter språkets ursprung hos Natur & KulturMänniskans talapparat skiljer sig från de andra människoapornas och möjliggör en ovanligt stor variation av språkljud. Andra människoapor kan lära sig att använda tecken och symboler i kommunikation med människor, men de uppvisar inte den produktivitet och komplexitet som kännetecknar mänskligt språk.Våra förfäder använde sannolikt allt som stod till buds för att kommunicera: blickar, tecken, gester och läten. Fossil från människor som levde för omkring en halv miljon år sedan visar dessutom anatomiska förändringar i bland annat tungbenet som närmar sig den moderna människans. Sådana fynd ger ledtrådar till talförmågans evolution, men de kan inte i sig bevisa att ett fullt utvecklat språk redan fanns.Språket har två sidor som är svåra att skilja åt. Den ena är människans biologiska språkförmåga, som bygger på hjärnans och talapparatens egenskaper. Den andra är språket som socialt system: de gemensamma konventioner som gör att människor kan vara överens om vad ord och uttryck betyder och därmed förstå varandra.Bildtext: Rekonstruktion av Homo erectus, en art som kan ha spelat en viktig roll i språkets tidiga utveckling.

Bahadir Basdere, President und CEO der Trench Group, verkauft Bauteile für Hochspannungsnetze – und wächst damit seit drei Jahren um mehr als 30 Prozent pro Jahr. Den Grund sieht er in der Elektrifizierung: „Die Welt geht weg vom Molekül, vom Fossil in Richtung Elektron.“ Die Abspaltung von Siemens Energy nennt er den wesentlichen Treiber dieses Erfolgs. Das Schicksal der deutschen Solarindustrie fürchtet er nicht – Komponenten für Stromnetze zählt er zur nationalen Sicherheit.

This Week in Cleantech is a weekly podcast covering the most impactful stories in clean energy and climate featuring Paul Gerke of Factor This and Tigercomm's Mike Casey.This week's episode features special guest Dan Gearino from Inside Climate News, who lays out how new tariffs and the phaseout of federal tax credits have dealt a heavy blow to the rooftop solar industry. This week's “Cleantecher of the Week” is Richard Wang, CEO and co-founder of Voya Energy, which just raised $35 million to turn scrap aluminum into backup power for data centers. Instead of diesel generators, Voya's system runs an electrochemical reaction that pulls energy out of aluminum with zero carbon pollution, aiming to be quieter, smaller, and cleaner than the diesel backup that's become a flashpoint in local data center opposition. The company plans to have generators ready for on-site testing by the end of 2027, with nearly a dozen companies already lined up for pilot demonstrations.This Week in Cleantech — August 28, 2026 Exclusive: 75% of Americans Now Oppose Local Data Center Development — HeatmapThe Clean Energy Transition Has A Grid Problem.

Scientists have spent decades studying whale fossils found on land near the Chile's Pacific coast. University of Arizona Geosciences professor Barbara Carrapa discusses how volcanic activity in the Andes Mountains actually led to the demise of the whales seven million years ago. Barbara Carrapa spoke with Erika Hamden, professor of Astrophysics at the University of Arizona.

Recognizing failure patterns is the closest thing an innovator has to seeing the future.   If you can recognize the patterns, you can change the future, because most failures are not original. They repeat, and that repetition is the pattern: the same handful of patterns reappearing in one organization after another, decade after decade.   This one stings a little.   In 2011, Bill Geiser told me, almost word for word, how the project we had spent the past two years building was going to fail. He saw the pattern before I did; I heard him say it, and I never forgot it.   The failure still happened.   This is not a pre-mortem. A pre-mortem imagines new ways your plan could fail. Recognizing failure patterns means learning from failures that have already happened elsewhere and spotting the early signals before you repeat them, while there is still time to act.   By the end of this episode, you will have four patterns in your own library, a five-minute way to check any project against them, and the four steps to take when you find one.   Let's get into it. The Smartwatch We Killed In 2004, Fossil hired a watch-technology executive named Bill Geiser to help build innovative technology for their watches. A few years later, he and I started spending real time together, me as HP's CTO, him running watch technology at Fossil. Between us, we had an idea we both believed in: a connected wearable, years before anyone used that phrase, co-innovated by HP and Fossil, with each bringing its expertise.   Fossil named the resulting platform the MetaWatch. It ran an ultra-low-power processor with a 96 by 96 display, an accelerometer, and Bluetooth. It was designed to last a week on a charge, and it shipped with a full developer kit so anyone could build apps for it. We revealed the partnership in March 2011, at an HP event in China. And between us, we had the one thing Apple did not have in 2011: distribution. HP held roughly ten percent of consumer-electronics shelf space. Fossil sold through twenty thousand retail stores that carried its watches.   Bill saw the ending before anyone. He told me in 2011: "Phil, I wouldn't be shocked if Apple evolved the Nano to take advantage of this space. They'll legitimize it in consumers' minds worldwide."   So the man building the watch spotted the failure in advance, out loud. And naming it changed nothing.   The signs kept arriving in plain sight. HP went through three CEOs in thirteen months. In August 2011, Leo Apotheker killed HP's consumer mobile strategy and WebOS, which removed the platform that made a smartwatch matter to HP at all. The battery lasted three to four hours against the original target of a week. We ran month-long approval cycles for changes that startups could implement in days.   Then I went out on medical leave. When I came back six weeks later, HP had killed Palm, WebOS, and the connected wearable project.   Here is what the ignored warning turned into. The Apple Watch shipped in April 2015. It sold 4.2 million units in its first quarter, and by that fall Apple was selling three out of every four smartwatches on the planet. The market we walked away from grew from three hundred thousand units in 2012 to forty-five million by 2018, and Apple held fifty-one percent of the market share.   The idea was never the hard part. It never is. The hard part is committing. What Recognizing Failure Patterns Means Nothing that killed the MetaWatch was new, and none of the signals were faint. They were loud; they were ignored, and each one was a pattern that has killed projects for decades.   Recognizing failure patterns has two halves. The first is building a library of how failures repeat. The second is matching the situation in front of you against that library, and forcing what you find into an actual decision while the fix is still cheap. Bill did the first half. Neither of our companies did the second, and the gap between those halves is where the Apple Watch came from.   Here are four entries for your library, straight from this one failure. Each one ends with a test question. By the end, you will have a four-question checklist, and then I will show you what to do when a pattern shows up. Pattern 1: Success Protects Itself Fossil's traditional watch business grew from $950 million in 2004 to $3.25 billion by 2013. It was tripling while we were building the thing that might replace it, and that growth made cannibalizing it politically impossible. Fossil never had to kill the MetaWatch outright. Fossil positioned the watch as a two-hundred-dollar development platform, something no ordinary customer would ever be handed at a retail counter.   When we constrain what we're innovating so it doesn't risk the present, we've lost the future.   Test it: Is the new thing priced, staffed, or positioned so that it cannot hurt the current thing? If the answer is yes, this pattern is already running. Pattern 2: The Warning That Changes Nothing Bill's warning was specific, early, and exactly right, and it still changed nothing. I heard it directly, and hearing is not the same as deciding: nobody re-ran the plan with "Apple arrives and legitimizes the category" as an input, no roadmap changed, and no budget moved.   Test it: What decision changed after the warning? If the honest answer is none, the warning was never acted on, no matter how many people remember hearing it. Pattern 3: The Problem Nobody Owns A week of battery life was the MetaWatch's central promise, and it shipped at three to four hours. Both companies saw the gap. No one owned fixing it. The hardest problem on the project sat on the seam between two companies, and problems that sit on seams get reported, tracked, and carried forward without ever belonging to anyone who can be asked why the problem is still there. We ran that partnership for two years and never settled whose job it was to lose sleep over the one number that mattered most.   Test it: Who owns the hardest problem, by name? If the answer is a partnership, a committee, or a pause, then nobody owns it. Pattern 4: The Pace Mismatch Earlier, I shared that we ran month-long approval cycles for changes a startup could implement in days. That is a pacing problem: the organization's internal pace versus the market's. A smartwatch in 2011 was a fast-moving product running through slow-moving machinery, and no amount of talent inside the project could close that gap. The delay was structural, not personal.   Test it: How long does one small change take to approve, against how fast the market moves? Time a real one. Do not estimate it. Five Minutes on a Project That Died The four patterns are the start of your library. Before you use it on a live decision, test it on a dead one.   You have a dead project in your past. Everybody does. Pick the one that still stings and give it five minutes against the four test questions.   Was an existing success being protected while the project starved, in pricing, staffing, or positioning? Did people raise a warning, and what decision changed after it was said? Who owned the hardest problem, and can you name the person? And how long did a small change take to approve, against how fast the market was moving?   When I run the MetaWatch through those four questions, I find all four patterns. Your project will probably show fewer. Every pattern you find is one you will now recognize as it happens on the project you are working on right now. The Four Steps When You Spot a Failure Pattern Which brings up the harder half of the skill, because recognition alone did not save us. Suppose you had been standing next to me in 2011, holding all four of these patterns. It would not have been enough. Being right about the future means nothing without the organizational machinery to act on that insight.   So when a failure pattern appears on a live project, follow this sequence.   Step one: Say the failure pattern out loud, in the room where the decision lives. Not in the hallway afterward. Use the pattern's name.   Step two: Get it onto the decision memo. A warning that lives only in conversation changes nothing. Write the pattern and what it costs into a document that will drive a decision.   Step three: Attach an owner. If you identify a critical problem, assign it to one person. Not a team or an organization. Someone you can ask next sprint why the problem is still there.   Step four: Attach a date. Being early provides an advantage, and a failure pattern without a date on it fades unnoticed.   Bill was right for four years, and Apple was the one who acted on it. That could have been us if we'd had the organizational courage to back our vision with meaningful resources. Conclusion You now have what nobody handed me in 2011: four patterns of failure, a five-minute check, and the four steps to run when you spot one. What you do in the room where the decision lives is the part Bill's warning never got.

For as long as we've known, humans have revered ancient trees. We've also destroyed them, especially since the advent of colonialism and fossil fuel capitalism. Environmental historian Jared Farmer reflects on what trees illuminate about our past and potential future. And forest activist and writer Greg King discusses the decimation of the California redwoods and the fight to preserve them.

Der kubanische Revolutionsführer Fidel Castro ist ein Mythos, ein politisches Phänomen und ein anachronistisches Fossil. Knapp 50 Jahre beherrschte er die kleine grüne Insel. Ein Podcast von Gabriele Knetsch (BR 2016)

Decarbonization usually means addition: more wind, solar, EVs. But a real transition also means taking something away.We talk about decarbonization like it's a shopping list: more wind, more solar, more EVs, stacked on top of whatever's already running. But a real transition means something also has to come off the list. Fossil systems have to shrink at the same time clean systems grow, and for a good stretch in the middle, both have to serve the same demand at once. Neither one can do the job alone, and each ends up constraining the other.Civil engineer and environmental sociologist Emily Grubert (University of Notre Dame) calls this overlap the mid-transition, and it's the subject of a paper she co-wrote with Sara. Ed sits down with both of them to work through what the concept actually means once you get past the label.Some of what's in this one:Why refineries and coal plants can't just wind down smoothly to zero, and where the "minimum viable scale" wall actually sitsWhat Alberta's coal phase-out got right, what it missed, and why the coal companies got compensated a lot faster than the communities didWhether the oil sands could shrink one asset at a time, or whether losing one piece, a pipeline, an upgrader, takes more of the system down with itThe uncomfortable question at the centre of it all: is a slow, managed phase-out actually the safer path, or just a longer runway for incumbents to extract concessions on the way out.0:00 Intro0:35 Cold Open2:00 What Is the Mid-Transition?4:36 The 80/20 Rule: Are We Already In It?5:55 Decarbonization Means Subtraction Too8:50 What Each System Forces on the Other12:38 Refineries and the Limits of Ramping Down15:46 Alberta's Coal Phase-Out, Explained20:52 Managing Coal Decline in the US24:11 Fast Payouts for Companies, Slow Support for Communities27:58 Can the Oil Sands Shrink Smoothly?35:13 Long Mid-Transition or Short?

In this podcast episode, Trent and Matt interview Cody Rich, founder of Bridger Watch, about why he built a hunting-focused smartwatch and how it evolved from wanting usable offline maps and hunting features on a watch. Rich shares his background from Perrydale, Oregon, moving to Montana, early work in Marine Corps training using Hollywood-style special effects, then entrepreneurship through Powder River Cartridge and learning marketing/SEO before starting The Rich Outdoors podcast and building Backcountry Fuel Box. Seeking a larger legacy business, he pursued a Garmin-adjacent niche, raised money, and assembled teams including former Fossil talent and connections to Google leadership and a CTO with Garmin dog-collar experience, ultimately building custom hardware and a new operating system. He describes key features: offline topo maps with panning/zooming, onX waypoint/track/markup syncing, integrated ballistics via Sierra True Data, redshift mode, frequent over-the-air updates, and ongoing battery-life improvements, with purchasing available at bridgerwatch.com, GuideFitter, GovX, and via HSA through TrueMed.

This is it, the finale of the Sasquatch Unleashed audiobook, and it opens with something that isn't in the book at all. I wrote Sasquatch Unleashed as a lifelong skeptic who had never once seen the creature with his own eyes.Then, in the summer of 2024, that changed. Over the span of two days I saw them three separate times in broad daylight, and on one of those occasions I stood no more than 10 feet away from one of these creatures. So the man reading you this final part is not the same man who wrote it, and for me the question at the heart of this whole book is settled in a way it never was on the page.From there, I take on the hardest questions this subject has to offer.If Sasquatch is real, then where are the bodies, and why has no one ever stumbled across the bones? I walk you through the fossil record, the brutal science of what it actually takes to make a fossil, and why the remains of a large forest primate are exactly what we would expect to be missing. I get into how something that big could stay hidden at all, drawing on the primate behaviors and the lowland gorilla that eluded science for centuries, and I look at what human population growth and the loss of wild land mean for a creature trying to stay out of sight.Then I put on the old hat I wore for 16 years in law enforcement, and I put Sasquatch on trial. I lay out the kinds of evidence a courtroom actually accepts, from physical and documentary to testimonial and digital, and I ask whether the case would hold up in front of a jury. After that, I wade out into the strangest, murkiest water in this whole world, the high strangeness, the UFO connections, the cloaking, the portals, the habituation stories like Janice Carter's, and the material I have always trusted the least, and I hold it up against the standard that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I close the book by asking why we chase monsters in the first place, and then, at long last, I stop circling and give you my answer to the only question that ever really mattered.Is Sasquatch real?

Mary Anning was a brave and curious girl who lived in the early 1800s in England. She loved to explore the rocky beaches near her home and search for fossils. Mary discovered amazing dinosaur bones, helping scientists learn about creatures that lived long ago. Even though she didn't go to school much, Mary taught herself a lot about fossils and became an expert. Her discoveries showed the world that girls can be great scientists too. Mary Anning's hard work and passion continue to inspire people who love learning about the past.
