In this episode we're travelling millions of years into the past to uncover the secrets of Earth's ancient history. My guest is Armin Schmitt a renowned palaeontologist based at Cambridge University and author of the book, ‘The Lost World of the Dinosaurs.'We discuss the fascinating world of dinosaurs, their evolution, and their lasting impact on our understanding of life on Earth. Armin explains the definition of dinosaurs, their size and duration on the planet, and how birds are their modern descendants. We hear about the significance of feathers, the global distribution of dinosaurs, their dietary habits, and the catastrophic asteroid impact that led to their extinction. Armin emphasises the adaptability and innovation of dinosaurs, challenging common misconceptions about their extinction. The episode concludes with some surprising aspects of dinosaur life, including their feeding habits, social structures, and intelligence. Armin also shares insights into the challenges of paleontological research and offers advice for aspiring paleontologists, emphasising the importance of curiosity and continuous learning.Links: https://www.instagram.com/armin.schmitt/https://x.com/ArminSchmitthttps://www.youtube.com/@ArminTube72Book:'The Lost World of the Dinosaurs: Uncovering the Secrets of the Prehistoric Age'https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lost-World-Dinosaurs-Uncovering-Prehistoric/dp/1335081216Connect with Undercurrent Stories: Website: https://www.undercurrentstories.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/undercurrentstories/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/undercurrentstoriesIntro and outro music, 'Time for a Coffee' Bob Wells © 2020Question or comment?

Have you ever heard of the word – shadenfreude. It's when you are amused by or laugh at someone else's failure or misfortune. We've all done it, and this episode begins by explaining why we do it and what it says about you. https://www.livescience.com/17398-schadenfreude-affirmation.html Why in the world would you need someone else to tell you how to sleep, breathe and hydrate yourself? You are about to find out when you listen to my discussion with Dr. Michael Breus. He is regarded as one of the top sleep experts around and he has done some extraordinary research into how making small improvements in these three simple things – sleeping, drinking and breathing – will do wonders for your health. It is simple yet powerful advice. Michael Breus is a double-boarded clinical psychologist and clinical sleep specialist and author of several books. His latest is called Sleep Drink Breathe: Simple Daily Habits for Profound Long-Term Health (https://amzn.to/3ATqDCc). Here is the link to take the Chrono Quiz Michael discusses: https://sleepdoctor.com/sleep-quizzes/chronotype-quiz/ There is a real fascination with dinosaurs in our culture. These huge creatures roamed and dominated our planet and then one day – disappeared. What are dinosaurs? How big did they get? Why did they die off? What I find so amazing is that we are still discovering new species of dinosaurs millions of years later – 46 so far this year! Hear to explain and discuss this is Armin Schmitt. He is a vertebrate paleontologist and research assistant at the Department of Earth Sciences at Oxford University and author of the book The Lost World of the Dinosaurs: Uncovering the Secrets of the Prehistoric Age (https://amzn.to/40Tz3UQ). While we have made great strides in our awareness of the dangers of drunk driving, you don't hear much “drowsy driving.” This is when people drive when they are so sleepy they fall asleep at the wheel. It happens more than you think. Listen as I explain the magnitude of the problem and what you can do. https://www.nsc.org/road/safety-topics/fatigued-driver PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

The Gap Can we know when the rapture is? Rev Dave Bennett
