Podcast appearances and mentions of Paul Sereno

The Fossil Lab is run by UChicago paleontologist Paul Sereno. It recently moved from the university campus to a space in Washington Park where visitors can see 3D renderings of dinosaurs and a wide variety of fossils. Reset sits down with Sereno to learn more about the community learning opportunities he's planning for the lab. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.

Our guest at this time is one of the most important people in the world of paleontology, known for discovering and naming many dinosaur species across the world including Mongolia, Argentina, Morocco and his favourite, Niger. We talked about ambitious project Museum on the River in Niger, what fascinates him aboiut this land, his opinions on mass extinction theory and more. Enjoy!

Professor Paul Sereno discusses how he's made a career of digging up bones and shares a few pivotal moments in his journey. From playing Tom Sawyer in a school play to the moment in the New York Natural History Museum that changed everything, and now as a professor at The University of Chicago.

Today on Live Life in Motion, I talk with Paul Sereno. Paul is one of the most highly acclaimed Paleontologist to have ever lived. He is living out a lot of our childhood dreams as being an Explorer! Paul is currently working on one of his discoveries of an ancient civilization located in the Sahara Desert in Niger, Africa. Sereno's field work began in the foothills of the Andes in Argentina, where he discovered the first dinosaurs to roam the Earth some 230 million years ago. Other expeditions have explored Africa's Sahara, Asia's Gobi Desert, India's Thar Desert, and remote valleys in Tibet. Paul's mission is to make major and lasting discoveries in the history of life on Earth and to bring the excitement of scientific discovery and exploration to a wide audience, especially youth who may not have considered science as a career.

In episode five, Stantec architecture discipline leader Rebel Roberts and paleontologist Dr. Paul Sereno chat with Dom and Diego about Niger Heritage, a collaborative design project for two new cultural and scientific heritage sites in the cities of Niamey and Agadez in Niger. 

When dinosaur hunter and paleontologist Paul Sereno discovered an ancient mass gravesite in the sands of the Sahara, he knew he had to excavate and save that history and heritage. Sereno has always said paleontology and archeology are adventures with a purpose. If the discovery of that ancient society is his greatest adventures, his new project to bring it back to the people it belongs to could be his greatest purpose.

“Ah, eventually you DO plan to TALK ABOUT dinosaurs on this dinosaur podcast, right? Hello? Yes?”- Ian Malcolm about this episode.This week’s guest is professional dinosaur hunter Steve Brusatte, paleontology professor at the University of Edinburgh and author of The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of a Lost World.https://twitter.com/stevebrusatteSubscribe on Apple Podcasts • Stitcher • Spotify • iHeart RadioJoin our Facebook Discussion GroupBeyond being a totally awesome – and more importantly, FRESH – take on the Mesozoic Era that weaves vital updates from the last twenty years of discovery into the official story, this book also paints a rich and lively portrait of the human beings who actually do dinosaur science. Their stories moved me as much as the story of how the dinosaurs evolved, came to dominate the landscape, and then disappeared. The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs offers more than the “what” of prehistory; it also offers us the “who” and “how” and “where” and “why,” and it will be a spiritual experience for anyone as into dinosaurs OR science OR science writing as I am.Plus, Steve’s great fun to talk to. He’s totally contagious.WE DISCUSS:• How we’re living through a worldwide renaissance of paleontology, a “Golden Age of Dinosaur Science” – and how itis related to deeper historical and economic trends – such as the opening of new international trade routes, increasing access to science education, and accelerating global development (the movement of wealth discovers dragons);• How the technology and methods of dinosaur science have advanced dramatically over the last few decades – but it’s still “a discovery science” that requires people out in the field, opening the ground and looking for new fossils;• Steve’s legendary globetrotting professors Paul Sereno and Mark Norell, and how their generous mentorship launched his career;• How paleontology remains one of the most awesome lifestyles for anyone with the spirit of an adventurer;• The role of landscape in stimulating the imagination – especially for bored Midwestern children whose imaginations fill the empty space with visions of lost worlds;• What it’s like to BE a paleontologist and to know about the history of the land where you are, to have insights into the Deep Time Big Story and how it relates you to the ground on which you walk;• How time perception changes when you’re in the badlands doing paleontological field research;• Michael’s childhood mentor and role model, rockstar revolutionary “heretical” paleontologist Robert T. Bakker, who had a habit of weaving Bible scripture and Broadway musical numbers into his energetic and engaging dinosaur ecology talks;• The major role that contingency plays in mass extinctions and the rise and fall of groups that otherwise seem dominant (like dinosaurs, and humans) – ie, “How do you become dominant? How do you rise up from nothing and become a BRONTOSAURUS?”• And the major role that MYSTERY plays in our understanding of the ancient world;• Oh, and we also talk about dinosaurs! For like half an hour. About Tyrannosauroidea, specifically, and how T. rex rose to greatness. And how to survive a mass extinction. But you’ll just have to listen for the rest.QUOTES:“I’m always thinking about, ‘Where is this area, where was it during the Mesozoic Era, what was it like when Pangaea was still around, what kind of environments were there, what kind of dinosaurs were living there?’ Just having this perspective, when you travel around on the Earth, of looking at landscapes and being able to see the looooooong history of those landscapes. Being able to see in the shapes of hills, and the types of rocks that are exposed, and the colors of those rocks, being able to see deep distant pasts, reconstructing vanished worlds. And I think that’s part of the magic of sciences like paleontology and geology…and probably nobody that’s not a paleontologist or geologist thinks like that. I’m sure we just think really strangely.”- Steve Brusatte“Nobody in science ever does anything alone. MAYBE in mathematics you can be a lone genius and figure out some great proof just sitting alone in your boxers in the dark, or whatever, but MOST science is NOT LIKE THAT. It’s collaborative, you work with teams, you NEED teams, and you need good mentorship when you’re student. So now that I run my own lab, I just hope I can provide for my own students what my mentors did to me.”- Steve Brusatte“There’s something just indescribable about that feeling of finding and holding and appreciating fossil objects. And that never gets old. A new fossil discovery never gets old.”- Steve Brusatte“Studying dinosaurs isn’t going to save the world, of course…BUT…”- Steve Brusatte See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Paul Sereno har hittat fler dinosauriesorter än de flesta, och är en av forskarna bakom en ny studie om att den största rovdinosaurie som någonsin funnits, spinosaurien, troligen var ett vattendjur. Han är en kändispaleontolog som beskrivs som självupptagen av andra forskare, och har hittat så många dinosaurier att man nästan skulle kunna börja tvivla på om det är sant. Men det är sant – alla finns och är vetenskapligt publicerade och på labbet ligger originalfossil både av Tyrannosaurus rex, Spinosaurus och en superkrokodil med ett två meter långt huvud. För samtidigt som han brinner för populärvetenskap och vill synas på många håll ser han till att ha vetenskapligt på fötterna inför sina forskarkolleger, säger han.

One of the most exquisite discoveries from Gobero is a triple burial which preserved an adult woman interred with two young children. The bodies were buried with their arms around each other and were holding hands. Paul Sereno's vision was to create something unique that would enable people to 1) view the burial from both sides and 2) preserve all of the scientific information in place: from the tiniest bones to the original position of the artifacts. He met with his staff at the University of Chicago Fossil Lab to make a plan. Paleoartist Tyler Keillor brought a "paleo-trifecta" of art, science and innovation to bear in order to help reconstruct this ancient scene.-- Written by Project Exploration
