Podcasts about Paleontology

The Bone Wars, also known as the Great Dinosaur Rush, is what a period of intense fossil hunting in the late 19th century came to be called, thanks primarily to the intense and bitter rivalry between two of America's most prominent early paleontologists, Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh. These two men, who started out as friends, would end up destroying each other's and their own lives in their intense quest to become America's most heralded fossil hunter. Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

Mary Anning was a pioneer in the field of paleontology, working in the early 19th Century, she discovered many famous dinosaurs and marine reptiles such as Ichthyosaurus. Her contributions were often overlooked due to her gender and social status, which let to her being ineligible to join the Geological Society of London or often receive no credit for her contributions.  Among other things she is considered to be the subject of the well known tongue twister "she sells sea shells by the sea shore".  Take a listen an learn all about her unique story.

Fans have spoken with their top pick… It began last year with a list of possible names: Blizzard, Utah HC, Mammoth, Outlaws, Venom and Yeti.  Dave and Debbie discuss the new name with Utah Hockey Club Insider, Cole Bagley.  Listeners chime in with their thoughts on the new name. Dave and Debbie listen live to the press conference happening at the Delta Center and hear from producer Noah Giles outside of the event.  Live reaction from: -Joshua Lively, Ph.D. Curator of Paleontology, USU Eastern Prehistoric Museum -Jon Smith with the Arrow/Hockey fan -Jay Stevens with Utah Puck Report calls in to recap the press event

Millions of years ago, iguanas somehow got from North America to Fiji. Scientists think they made the trip on a raft of fallen vegetation. Also, the marine reptile's fossilized fetus is cluing paleontologists into the lives of ancient sea creatures.Ancient Iguanas Floated 5,000 Miles Across The PacificIf you picture iguanas, you might imagine them sunbathing on hot sand in the Caribbean or skittering around the Mojave Desert. But far, far away from where these iguanas are found is another group of iguanas living on the islands of Fiji and Tonga in the South Pacific—closer to New Zealand than the Americas. And it raises the question: How in the world did these iguanas end up all alone, on the other side of the ocean? In a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in March, scientists suggest that millions of years ago, iguanas hitched a ride on a raft and accidentally sailed all the way across the ocean before washing ashore and starting a new life. Host Flora Lichtman discusses the iguanas' intrepid adventure with lead author Dr. Simon Scarpetta, evolutionary biologist and assistant professor at the University of San Francisco in California.Meet Fiona, The Pregnant Icthyosaur FossilIn the Patagonia region of Chile, Torres del Paine National Park is a graveyard of ichthyosaurs—ancient, dolphin-like reptiles that roamed the oceans when dinosaurs dominated the land. Nearly 90 of these giant reptiles' fossils have been found amongst the glaciers. But the standout in the bone heap is Fiona, an ichthyosaur that lived 131 million years ago. She's in pristine condition, the only fully preserved ichthyosaur in Chile. And, she died pregnant. She's teaching paleontologists about the evolution of her species. And some of those findings were recently published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. Host Flora Lichtman talks with lead author Dr. Judith Pardo-Pérez, paleontologist at the University of Magallanes in Chile.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

The Utah Hockey Team has weighed the option of adopting the Mammoth as their official mascot, leading to the inevitable question...how does that relate to Utah? We discuss with Joshua Lively, Ph.D. Curator of Paleontology about the mammoth's origins in Utah. Cole Bagley, Utah Hockey Club Insider, joins the show to talk about the Utah Hockey Club's possible new mascot. 

rWotD Episode 2912: Charles Lewis Camp Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Thursday, 24 April 2025, is Charles Lewis Camp.Charles Lewis Camp (March 12, 1893 – August 14, 1975) was an American palaeontologist and zoologist, working from the University of California, Berkeley. He took part in excavations at the 'Placerias Quarry', in 1930 and the forty Shonisaurus skeleton discoveries of the 1960s, in what is now the Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park. Camp served as the third director of the University of California Museum of Paleontology from 1930 to 1949, and coincidentally as chair of the UC Berkeley Paleontology Department between 1939 and 1949. Camp named a number of species of marine reptiles such as Shonisaurus and Plotosaurus, as well as the dinosaur Segisaurus.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:07 UTC on Thursday, 24 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Charles Lewis Camp on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Joanna.

Bringing back Southwest peach orchards won't be easy, but researchers are on the lookout for remaining trees—and they need help. And, the newly discovered Lokiceratops is challenging paleontologists' understanding of how horned dinosaurs evolved and existed together. How A Navajo Plant Researcher Is Reviving A Desert PeachWhen you think of states known for their peaches, Utah might not be at the top of your list. But there is a variety—the Southwest peach—that grows in this arid landscape, and Native communities have cultivated this tree since the 1600s. But many of the orchards were intentionally destroyed by colonizers hundreds of years ago, and the remaining trees are now scattered across the region.A local scientist and member of the Navajo Nation is on a mission to track down Southwest peach trees so we can learn more about how these peaches are so well-suited to grow in the desert.At a live event in Salt Lake City in March, Host Flora Lichtman spoke with Reagan Wytsalucy, plant scientist and assistant professor at Utah State University Extension in San Juan County, Utah. She researches traditional Native American crops, including the Southwest peach.Meet Lokiceratops, A Giant Dinosaur With Blade-Like HornsThe Intermountain West is a dinosaur nerd's dream because it's such a hotspot for fossils. Some of the most famous dino fossils in the world, like T. rex, triceratops, and stegosaurus can be found in western North America. So, of course, Science Friday couldn't go to Salt Lake City, Utah, without digging into some dinosaur science.At a live event in Salt Lake City in March, Host Ira Flatow spoke with the scientists behind the discovery of Lokiceratops, a large dinosaur with impressive horns that was unveiled in 2024. Dr. Mark Loewen, vertebrate paleontologist at the University of Utah and the Natural History Museum of Utah; and Savhannah Carpenter, paleontologist and school outreach coordinator at the Natural History Museum of Utah, discuss how they figured out Loki was a new dinosaur, the process of describing and naming the fossil, and what it taught them about dino evolution.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.  Subscribe to this podcast.

dinoszaurusz kiállításhoz értek, Anna meglátott egy ritka fosszíliát.En: When they reached the dinosaur exhibit, Anna spotted a rare fossil.Hu: Felkiáltott örömében.En: She shouted with joy.Hu: Tamás szokásán kívül megállt, és kíváncsian nézte.En: Tamás, unusually, stopped and looked on curiously.Hu: Gábor ekkor jött rá, hogy az érdeklődésük összefonódhat.En: It was then that Gábor realized their interests could intertwine.Hu: Emlékeztette őket, hogy közösen tanulhatnak valamit.En: He reminded them that they could learn something together.Hu: Anna magyarázni kezdett Tamásnak, aki teljesen belemerült nővére lelkesedésébe.En: Anna began explaining to Tamás, who was completely absorbed in his sister's enthusiasm.Hu: A nap végén a család a múzeum kávézójában ült, süteményt falatoztak és felidézték a látottakat.En: At the end of the day, the family sat in the museum café, nibbling on cake and recalling what they had seen.Hu: Gábor boldogan figyelte gyerekeit, akik most sokkal közelebb kerültek hozzá.En: Gábor happily watched his children, who now felt much closer to him.Hu: Gábor aznap megtanulta, hogy tisztelje és ápolja gyermekeinek egyéni érdeklődését.En: That day, Gábor learned to respect and nurture his children's individual interests.Hu: Anna és Tamás pedig megértették, hogy az apjuk tényleg részese akar lenni az életüknek.En: Anna and Tamás understood that their father truly wanted to be a part of their lives.Hu: A múzeumból kilépve új emlékekkel és szorosabb családi kötelékkel távoztak.En: As they left the museum with new memories and stronger family bonds, they felt transformed.Hu: Ahogy a nap lemenő sugaraiban sétáltak haza, Gábor érezte, hogy életükben egy új fejezet kezdődött.En: As they walked home in the setting sun, Gábor felt that a new chapter had begun in their lives.Hu: Az ősi csontok között, a történelmet idéző falak alatt, aznap valami új született: a család egy újfajta együttléte.En: Among the ancient bones, beneath the history-evoking walls, something new was born that day: a new way of being together as a family.

Welcome back to the Fossil Huntress Podcast, the show where we dig into the dirt—both literally and historically—to uncover the most fascinating stories from Earth's deep past. Here you'll find ammonites, trilobites, dinosaurs and more!I'm Heidi Henderson, the Fossil Huntress, your host, and today… we're diving into one of the most epic rivalries in science history.It's got fossils. It's got sabotage. It's got exploding railcars and a whole lot of dinosaur bones.It was one of the most famous of all paleo feuds we affectionately call the Bone Wars—the intense feud between two 19th-century paleontologists: Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh.Alright, let's set the scene.It's the late 1800s. Paleontology is still a young science, and the American West is full of undiscovered fossil treasure. Into this world step two brilliant, ambitious, and very competitive scientists: Cope and Marsh.Edward Drinker Cope was a Philadelphian—charismatic, energetic, a bit hot-headed. He published tons of papers, traveled constantly, and had a deep love for reptiles and amphibians.Othniel Charles Marsh was from Connecticut—quiet, methodical, and extremely well-connected. In fact, his wealthy uncle was the founder of Yale's Peabody Museum.At first, they were friends. Briefly. They even went fossil hunting together in New Jersey. But that didn't last long.So what went wrong?Well, the drama really kicked off over a fossil of an extinct marine reptile called Elasmosaurus. Cope reconstructed the skeleton and proudly published it—except he put the skull on the wrong end. Marsh gleefully pointed out the mistake, and let's just say Cope didn't take it well.From that moment on, it was war.The two men started competing furiously—racing to out-discover, out-name, and out-publish each other. They hired entire fossil-hunting teams, often sending them to the same dig sites in the American West.And they didn't play fair.They bribed each other's workers.They spied on dig sites.They even dynamited fossils to keep the other from getting them. (Yes, really.)But here's the wild part: in their rush to beat each other, Cope and Marsh made some of the most important fossil discoveries in history.Between them, they described over 130 new dinosaur species—including some names you might recognize:StegosaurusApatosaurusDiplodocusAllosaurusAnd dozens more. Their discoveries laid the groundwork for modern paleontology—even though they were practically trying to ruin each other the whole time.By the time the Bone Wars fizzled out in the 1890s, both men were basically broke. They'd spent their fortunes on fossil digs, museum battles, and publishing wars.But despite the chaos, their work helped turn dinosaurs into a global fascination—and opened the door to one of the greatest eras of fossil discovery the world had ever seen.So what's the legacy of the Bone Wars?Well, it's a cautionary tale about how ego and rivalry can warp science—but also a story about passion, persistence, and the thrill of discovery.Today, paleontologists continue to refine, revise, and build on the work that Cope and Marsh started—even correcting some of the mistakes they made in their rush to be first.Because science isn't about who gets the credit. It's about uncovering the truth, one bone at a time.

Welcome to the Fossil Huntress Podcast, the podcast where we dig into the past—literally! Join in the exploration of the fascinating science of palaeontology — that lens that examines ancient animals, plants & ecosystems from wee single-celled organisms to big & mighty dinosaurs.​Learn about the interwoven disciplines of natural history, ecology, geology, conservation & stewardship of our world. Today, we're talking about paleontology—what it is, what paleontologists actually do, and what exactly counts as a fossil. So grab your metaphorical shovel, and let's get digging.I'm your host, Heidi Henderson, and today we're going to crack open a topic that's millions of years in the making. So first off, what is paleontology? It's a big word, but let's break it down.“Paleo” means “ancient,” and “-ology” means “the study of.” So paleontology is the study of ancient life. That means anything that lived on Earth long before humans showed up—from tiny trilobites to towering T. rexes.But paleontology isn't just about dinosaurs. It includes ancient plants, sea creatures, insects, and even microscopic organisms. If it lived a really, really long time ago and left behind a trace, paleontologists want to know about it.So how do we study life that's been gone for millions of years?That's where fossils come in.A fossil is the preserved remains or traces of a once-living organism. That could be bones, teeth, shells—or even footprints, burrows, or plant imprints. Some fossils are what you'd expect: hard bones turned to stone. But others can be things like petrified wood, fossilized poop—yes, that's a thing and it's called coprolite—or impressions of leaves.Fossils form over really long periods of time. Usually, the process starts when an animal or plant gets buried quickly under sediment—like mud or sand. Over time, more layers build up, pressure increases, minerals seep in, and eventually, the organic stuff gets replaced or preserved. Fast-forward a few million years and boom—you've got a fossil.If you would like to learn more about different types of fossils or head out virtually on some fossil adventures, head on over to Fossil Huntress HQ at www.fossilhuntress.com.

The gang discusses two papers that look into the evolution and timing of key morphological innovations within animal groups. The first paper describes possible raptorial appendages in fossil artiopods, and the second paper finds early evidence of modern bird morphologies in the Jurassic. Meanwhile, Amanda gloats, Curt dies, and James eulogizes.   Up-Goer Five (Amanda Edition): Today our friends look at two papers where one friend can feel better about how they do the work than how other people do the work. One paper is about big face hand animals with many parts to their legs that use their big face hands to maybe grab and eat other animals. It says that maybe these animals with many parts to their legs all got the big face hand parts in different ways that other animals with many parts that also have the big face hand parts. The other paper is about the animals that do not have hair or hard skin that fly. It says that the animals that do not have hair or hard skin that fly show up earlier than people maybe thought that they did. They are animals that are more like today's animals that do not have hair or hard skin that can fly. One of our friends has said this for a long time and felt good when they saw this paper.   References: O'Flynn, Robert J., et al.

When you imagine prehistoric life, it's likely that the first thing that comes to mind are dinosaurs: long-necked Apatosauruses, flying Pterosaurs, big toothy Tyrannosaurs. But what don't get as much attention are the prehistoric plants that lived alongside them.Plants, shrubs, and trees played a key part in the food chains of dinosaurs, and many dinosaurs evolved to match the plant life available to them. The Apatosaurus' long neck, for example, developed to reach leaves high up in prehistoric trees.Joining Host Flora Lichtman to defend the importance of prehistoric plants is Riley Black, author of the new book When the Earth Was Green: Plants, Animals and Evolution's Greatest Romance. She's based in Salt Lake City, Utah.Read an excerpt from When the Earth Was Green at sciencefriday.com.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

A study finds that Peto's Paradox, which states that larger animals are no more likely to get cancer than smaller ones, may not hold up. Also, a nearly complete predator skull was found in the Egyptian desert. Its lineage indicates that it was a top carnivore of the age.What Does An Animal's Size Have To Do With Its Cancer Risk?If you throw a huge party, there's more of a chance of problems than if you host a quiet get-together for a couple of friends. The logic is simple: Having more people around means more opportunities for chaos. Similarly, it would seem to make sense that in animals, a bigger species with more cells might have a greater chance of something going wrong with one of those cells, including mutations leading to cancer.Back in 1977, a British epidemiologist named Richard Peto observed that that didn't seem to be true. Bigger animals didn't seem to have a greater risk of cancer than smaller ones. That became known as Peto's Paradox, and has been a topic of debate among cancer biologists ever since.Research published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences takes a new look at Peto's Paradox using an unusual set of data—death reports from zoos around the world. Dr. Sarah Amend of Johns Hopkins Medical School joins Host Flora Lichtman to explain why, in their findings, Peto's Paradox doesn't seem to hold up—and what studying animal cancer rates could teach scientists about improving human health.Meet Bastetodon, A 30 Million-Year-Old Apex PredatorOnce upon a time, some 30 million years ago, what is now Egypt's Western Desert was a lush forest. Humans had not evolved yet, the nearest relatives being monkey-like creatures. And through those forests stalked Bastetodon syrtos, a newly described apex predator from an extinct lineage known as the Hyaenodonts—one of the top carnivores of the age.Researchers recently discovered a nearly complete skull of the creature. They reported on the find in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. Host Flora Lichtman talks with Shorouq Al-Ashqar of the Mansoura University Vertebrate Paleontology Center about the discovery, and the picture it helps paint of ancient life.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

In the summer of 2011, paleontologist and science writer Riley Black was on a mission. Walking through the Montana desert, she was on the lookout for a Tyrannosaurus rex. But that day, she wasn't having any luck. Sitting atop a rock, she pulled out a geological hammer, sometimes called a rock pick, to dislodge a little piece and try to discern its composition. What she saw was a leaf, but upon closer inspection realized it was in fact the fossil of a leaf. As it turned out, finding it likely provided so much more information than if she had come across the dinosaur. In this episode of Tiny Matters, we explore the complex and essential relationship between plants and animals across evolution and some of the pivotal moments that allowed humans to exist and that led to the world we live in today.

Series 11, eh? We don't think we, or anyone else reading this, expected that. Nor did we expect issues with Dave's microphone (apologies)… Still, here we are and with more dinosaur goodness coming. We say ‘coming' because this episode is far less about dinosaurs and pterosaurs than usual, but more about the mechanisms of science. In this case it's really about Dave's experiences as a science communicator and how things like this are increasingly important for science, but in the UK at least, this can be monitored and measured and so having ways to do that becomes important. And this is the central point of today's show, a call to arms for all those who are involved in sci comms and delight in sharing new knowledge to understand why it's important to credit your sources when new discoveries are made.   Links: For extra content: patreon.com/terriblelizards If you want to know a bit more about REF in the UK, here's the main pages for it: https://2029.ref.ac.uk/about/what-is-the-ref/ And if we're talking communication, it seems a good time to say that Iszi and Dave are both now on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/davehone.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/iszi.com

One of the twentieth century's great paleontologists and science writers, Stephen Jay Gould was, for Bruce S. Lieberman and Niles Eldredge, also a close colleague and friend. In Macroevolutionaries: Reflections on Natural History, Paleontology, and Stephen Jay Gould (Columbia UP, 2024), they take up the tradition of Gould's acclaimed essays on natural history, offering a series of wry and insightful reflections on the fields to which they have devoted their careers. Lieberman and Eldredge explore the major features of evolution, or "macroevolution," examining key issues in paleontology and their links to popular culture, philosophy, music, and the history of science. They focus on topics such as punctuated equilibria, mass extinctions, and the history of life--with detours including trilobites, Hollywood stuntmen, coywolves, birdwatching, and New Haven-style pizza. Lieberman and Eldredge's essays showcase their deep knowledge of the fossil record and keen appreciation of the arts and culture while touching on different aspects of Gould's life and work. Ultimately, they show why Gould's writings and perspective are still relevant today, following his lead in using the natural history essay to articulate their view of evolutionary theory and its place in contemporary life. At once thought-provoking and entertaining, Macroevolutionaries is for all readers interested in paleontology, evolutionary biology, and Gould's literary and scientific legacy.

ett vitt täcke.En: The snow fell softly, covering the streets in a white blanket.Sv: Lennart, Karin och deras son Viggo hade klätt sig varmt för en utflykt till Naturhistoriska riksmuseet.En: Lennart, Karin, and their son Viggo had dressed warmly for a trip to the Naturhistoriska riksmuseet.Sv: Det var en tradition hos familjen; varje vinter besökte de museet för att upptäcka nya saker och ha en trevlig dag tillsammans.En: It was a family tradition; every winter they visited the museum to discover new things and have a pleasant day together.Sv: När de stegade genom de stora dörrarna till museet, möttes de av hallens storhet.En: As they stepped through the large doors of the museum, they were met by the hall's grandeur.Sv: De höga taken, marmorgolvet och de mäktiga skeletten av dinosaurier som stod som vakter mot väggarna.En: The high ceilings, the marble floor, and the mighty skeletons of dinosaurs standing like guardians against the walls.Sv: Värmen strömmade från de som hummande värmare, och kontrasterade mot kylan utanför.En: The warmth streamed from the humming heaters, contrasting with the cold outside.Sv: Lennart var uppspelt.En: Lennart was excited.Sv: Han älskade paleontologi och hade sett fram emot att dela sin passion för dinosaurier med Viggo.En: He loved paleontology and had been looking forward to sharing his passion for dinosaurs with Viggo.Sv: "Titta, Viggo," sa han och pekade på det mäktiga Tyrannosaurus Rex-skelettet.En: "Look, Viggo," he said, pointing at the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton.Sv: "Visst är det fantastiskt?"En: "Isn't it amazing?"Sv: Viggo, åtta år gammal, höll sin lilla surfplatta tätt i händerna.En: Viggo, eight years old, held his little tablet tightly in his hands.Sv: Han gav dinosaurien en snabb blick innan han återgick till spelet på sin skärm.En: He gave the dinosaur a quick glance before returning to the game on his screen.Sv: Lennart suckade lätt.En: Lennart sighed lightly.Sv: Han ville verkligen att Viggo skulle ta del av detta.En: He really wanted Viggo to be part of this.Sv: Karin såg det och lade en lugnande hand på sin mans axel.En: Karin saw it and placed a reassuring hand on her husband's shoulder.Sv: "Ge honom lite tid," viskade hon.En: "Give him some time," she whispered.Sv: "Han kommer komma runt."En: "He'll come around."Sv: Lennart nickade och tog ett djupt andetag.En: Lennart nodded and took a deep breath.Sv: Han behövde en ny plan.En: He needed a new plan.Sv: Kanske kunde han blanda Viggos intressen med dinosaurierna.En: Maybe he could blend Viggo's interests with the dinosaurs.Sv: Han bestämde sig för att försöka igen när de nådde rummet med den gigantiska Stegosaurus.En: He decided to try again when they reached the room with the gigantic Stegosaurus.Sv: "Hör på, Viggo," började Lennart med en nyfiken ton.En: "Listen, Viggo," Lennart began with a curious tone.Sv: "Visste du att Stegosaurus hade en slags rustning på ryggen?En: "Did you know the Stegosaurus had a kind of armor on its back?Sv: Som en hjälte i ditt spel!"En: Like a hero in your game!"Sv: Viggo släppte blicken från sin skärm och tittade upp.En: Viggo lifted his eyes from his screen and looked up.Sv: "Verkligen?"En: "Really?"Sv: "Ja!"En: "Yes!"Sv: sa Lennart uppmuntrande.En: Lennart said encouragingly.Sv: "Och ibland undrar vi om de kunde använda sina svansar som vapen, precis som i det där spelet du gillar."En: "And sometimes we wonder if they could use their tails as weapons, just like in that game you like."Sv: Viggo sken upp.En: Viggo lit up.Sv: Nu verkade han intresserad.En: Now he seemed interested.Sv: Så fortsatte Lennart att väva en historia.En: Lennart continued to weave a story.Sv: Hur kunde en dinosaurie överleva i en värld fylld med teknologiska prylar?En: How could a dinosaur survive in a world filled with technological gadgets?Sv: Vilka äventyr skulle Viggo kunna uppleva tillsammans med en dinosaurie?En: What adventures could Viggo experience together with a dinosaur?Sv: Sakta men säkert drogs Viggo in i berättelsen.En: Slowly but surely, Viggo was drawn into the story.Sv: Hans ögon var stora och fulla av fantasi.En: His eyes were wide and full of imagination.Sv: Medan de gick vidare genom utställningen, frågade han allt mer och satte undan surfplattan i fickan.En: As they moved through the exhibition, he asked more and more questions and put the tablet in his pocket.Sv: När de lämnade museet den eftermiddagen hade Viggo ett litet broschyr med fakta om dinosaurier i sin hand.En: When they left the museum that afternoon, Viggo had a small brochure with facts about dinosaurs in his hand.Sv: "Pappa," sa han ivrigt, "nästa gång vi kommer, kan vi läsa ännu mer?En: "Dad," he said eagerly, "next time we come, can we read even more?Sv: Och kanske ta mer tid att kolla på allt?"En: And maybe take more time to look at everything?"Sv: Lennart log stolt och såg på Karin som log tillbaka.En: Lennart smiled proudly and looked at Karin, who smiled back.Sv: De hade nått varandra på halva vägen.En: They had met each other halfway.Sv: Viggo hade hittat ett intresse utanför den digitala världen, och Lennart hade lärt sig att anpassa sig till sin sons intressen, något som värmde lika mycket som ett par varma vantar en kall vinterdag.En: Viggo had found an interest outside the digital world, and Lennart had learned to adapt to his son's interests, something that warmed as much as a pair of warm mittens on a cold winter day.

Welcome to Monsters on the Edge, a show exploring creatures at the edge of our reality in forests, cities, skies, and waters. We examine these creatures and talk to the researchers studying them.Joining us on this week's show:Samantha Ann, Universal Prospector. Collector of artifacts from time's past. She has studied under the advisement from the Geology Department at Texas A&M Kingsville. She has also been advised by professor Lambert from the Paleontology department at the University of Texas San Antonio. From pterodactyl eggs to dinosaur teeth, Samantha Ann finds and studies these objects with the guidance of her ancestors as she is spiritually connected to the divine realm of the no longer physically present. She praises her creator after every find and takes care of each individual object of history as if she knew the person that handled it. She has discovered a Petalodus Shark tooth predating the existence of dinosaurs by 500,000 years. Throughout her lifetime she has heard rumors of dinosaurs being nonexistent and has put her everything into disproving that claim. She performs digs every day and finds things that you can only read about unless you see it for yourself. In her opinion, every rock has a story and has been handled by someone at some point in time. It is her goal in life to give a voice to those who fought so hard to write down their experiences to acknowledge the way their existence was. So many people have tried to write down their stories and throughout time have been lost. She thrives to find these stories to share with the world and revive history with the way she reads it in stone.ILY – Samantha Annhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQTtsf-ezYEhttps://www.diaanitv.com/Click that play button, and let's unravel the mysteries of the UNTOLD!

For UC Berkeley Professor Jack Tseng, the world of paleontology never gets old. With each new discovery, paleontologists like him learn more about the animals that walked the earth millions of years ago."If you look at books from 50 years ago, they postured dinosaurs very differently from the way we do it today," Tseng says. "This constant profusion of new scientific knowledge into the popular psyche is recorded in children's books, which is a lovely way to see how this science has progressed."Fossils also hold valuable clues about our planet's future and our role within it as we experience climate change, he says."The questions we ask of them have to do with how different species sometimes survive, when others go extinct. Paleontology is sort of pre-adapted to plug in to understanding the future of Earth because we have billions of years of the fossil record to learn from."This season on Berkeley Voices, we're exploring the theme of transformation. In eight episodes, we're exploring how transformation — of ideas, of research, of perspective — shows up in the work that happens every day at UC Berkeley. New episodes will come out on the last Monday of each month, from October through May.Key takeaways: Paleontologists can better understand how dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals looked and lived by studying living animals.New discoveries have reshaped what we thought we knew about dinosaurs and the prehistoric world.Fossils hold clues about the role of different species of plants and animals during climate change — and the future of Earth.Listen to the podcast and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts).Music by Blue Dot Sessions.UC Berkeley photo by Stanley Luo.

To wrap up 2024, science writer Riley Black shares her favorite paleontology discoveries of the year. And, if treated properly, even old-fashioned eggnog made with cream and raw eggs can be a safe holiday beverage.The Most Exciting Dino Discoveries Of 2024December is, traditionally, a time to reflect on the events of the past year—including dinosaur discoveries. In 2024, researchers learned more about T. rex and the spiky tails of stegosaurs as well as how dinosaurs evolved, lived, and more.For Smithsonian Magazine, dinosaur enthusiast and science writer Riley Black rounded up her top dino discoveries of the year. She talks with Ira Flatow about the most exciting paleontology news of 2024.Can Spiking Eggnog Kill Bacteria From The Raw Eggs?It's a question that occasionally comes up over the course of a holiday celebration, at least in certain circles: whether or not the alcohol in old-fashioned eggnog made with real cream and raw eggs can protect against foodborne pathogens such as salmonella.Around 15 years ago, Science Friday investigated, enlisting the help of a lab at Rockefeller University that has a tradition of mixing up a big batch of old-fashioned eggnog around Thanksgiving, then serving it weeks later at a lab holiday party. The researchers kindly conducted a controlled study in which they deliberately spiked samples of their potent eggnog with salmonella, then followed the mixture's bacterial status over the course of several weeks.Science Friday's Charles Bergquist checks in with Dr. Vincent Fischetti, a bacteriologist at Rockefeller, to see if there have been any advances in the field of eggnogology.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

As part of Science Friday's 33rd anniversary show, we're revisiting our listeners' favorite stories, including this one from 2022.66 million years ago, a massive asteroid hit what we know today as the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico. Many people have a general idea of what happened next: The age of the dinosaurs was brought to a close, making room for mammals like us to thrive.But fewer people know what happened in the days, weeks, and years after impact. Increased research on fossils and geological remains from this time period have helped scientists paint a picture of this era. For large, non-avian dinosaurs like Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus rex, extinction was swift following the asteroid impact. But for creatures that were able to stay underwater and underground, their post-impact stories are more complicated.In 2022, Utah-based science writer Riley Black joined Ira to discuss her book The Last Days of the Dinosaurs.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

It's a plane, it's Superman... it's a... BIRD! Let's take Ye Olde Timed Machinerium back to the Jurassic Period shall we? It's time to for the Debut Buddies to find the FIRST BIRD. This "ancient wing" hung out mostly in Germany, probably listening to Kraftwerk, but now it's a fossil and--boy--are we feeling paleontological! After digging into our newest fine, feathered friend, we talk MouthGarf, and play another rousing game of I See What You Did There!Sources:https://www.fieldmuseum.org/exhibition/meet-the-chicago-archaeopteryxhttps://www.britannica.com/animal/Archaeopteryxhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArchaeopteryxPlease give us a 5 star rating on Apple Podcasts! Want to ask us a question?

Some paleontologists argue the ancient footprints found in South Korea show flight may have evolved in multiple dinosaur lineages. And, COP16 will tackle questions like who should profit from non-human DNA, and who is responsible for financing critical conservation projects.Do Fossil Prints Show Dinosaur Flight Evolved More Than Once?Researchers studying tracks fossilized in Cretaceous-era lakeshore mud in what is now South Korea argue this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that the dinosaur footprints are “indirect evidence of pre-avian aerial behavior” in a tiny microraptor.The tracks, which belong to a sparrow-sized theropod related to Tyrannosaurus rex, are spaced far enough apart to indicate that the tiny dino was moving across the mud very quickly. That speed, the researchers argue, is faster than the animal should have been able to go just by running with its hindlimbs. However, if flapping wings were added into the equation to give a power boost, the spacing might make sense.If the microraptor did, in fact, have flight-capable wings, that would mean that the ability to fly may have evolved in multiple lineages of dinosaurs, not just the descendants of Archaeopteryx we see as modern birds. Other researchers are not convinced of the analysis, arguing that the tracks may not all have come from the same individual at the same time.Jason Dinh, climate editor for Atmos, joins guest host Sophie Bushswick to talk about the debate, and other stories from the week in science, including an archeological find of medieval-era Silk Road cities in the Uzbek mountains, breathing differences in people born with the inability to smell, and the surprising ability of hornets to hold their liquor.Biodiversity's Biggest Event Is Underway In ColombiaFrom now until November 1, bureaucrats from nearly every country in the world will be gathered in Cali, Colombia, for COP16, better known as the United Nations biodiversity summit. This “conference of the parties” comes together about every two years to deliberate on the biggest issue in conservation science: how to stop ecological collapse.At the last summit, COP15, nearly every country agreed to a deal to halt biodiversity loss by 2030. This year's conference will take a temperature check on how nations are doing in their quest to meet this goal (spoiler alert: not well).Also on the agenda are the questions of who should profit from non-human DNA, and how a $700 billion funding gap for conservation work can be filled. Joining guest host Sophie Bushwick to parse through these big ideas is Benji Jones, environmental correspondent for Vox based in New York.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

The New York Times published an article this week, What's in a Name? The Battle of Baby T. Rex and Nanotyrannus profiling a $20 million-dollar dinosaur fossil for sale at the David Aaron Gallery in London. The gallery describes the fossil as a, “rare juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton”. Newt discusses the sale of the dinosaur with his guest Dr. Stephen Brusatte, Chair of Paleontology and Evolution in the School of Geosciences at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To gaze upon a full T. rex skeleton is to be transported back in time. Dinosaur fossils are key to understanding what these prehistoric creatures looked like, how they moved, and where they lived.But there's one type of dinosaur fossil that's sometimes overlooked: poop. Its scientific name is coprolite. These fossilized feces are rarer than their boney counterparts, but they're key to better understanding dino diets and ecosystems.This all raises an important question: How scientists know if something is fossilized dino poop or just a rock?At Science Friday Live in Boulder, Ira talks with Dr. Karen Chin, paleontologist and professor of geological sciences at the University of Colorado, Boulder to answer that question and much more.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

On July 17, Apex the stegosaurus was sold at Sothebys in New York City for a record $44.6 million. The buyer was billionaire Ken Griffin, CEO of the hedge fund Citadel, who says he plans to loan the fossil to American institutions for display.But despite Griffin's statement, some paleontologists aren't too happy about the trend of fossils going up for auction.The sale of dinosaur fossils has become more and more profitable in recent years. Eight out of the ten most expensive fossils have been sold in the last four years. This trend of rising sale prices leaves museums and research institutions unable to pay for fossils that could benefit paleontological research.Paleontologists fear that as more and more fossils become privately owned, the availability of fossils for research and even access to dig sites might decrease or be restricted.SciFri guest host and producer Kathleen Davis is joined by Dr. Steve Brusatte, professor of paleontology at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland to talk about the potential scientific impacts of privatizing and selling fossils.Transcript for this segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
