Your Hosts] James Reed (https://twitter.com/James_Reed3) Steffi Diem (https://twitter.com/SteffiDiem) Jason Organ (https://twitter.com/OrganJM) Our Guest Lee Berger (https://twitter.com/LeeRberger?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) is an award-winning researcher and paleoanthropologist. His explorations into human origins in Africa over the past 25 years have resulted in the discovery of more individual fossil hominin remains than any other exploration program in the history of the search for human origins in Africa. Among Berger’s many notable finds, the discoveries of two new species of ancient human relatives are especially noteworthy. In 2008 he found Australopithecus sediba, fossil remains of remarkable completeness that showed an intriguing mix of apelike and humanlike characteristics. In 2013 his team found another new species of ancient human relative, Homo naledi, amid the richest early hominin site yet found in Africa. Berger has served in a number of advisory roles, including the Global Young Academy, the Jane Goodall Institute South Africa, and has chaired the Fulbright Commission. Berger is the Phillip Tobias Chair in Palaeoanthropology at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. A current National Geographic Explorer at Large, Berger won the first National Geographic Society Research and Exploration Prize in 1997. In 2016, he was named the Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year and included in Time magazine’s list of the world’s 100 Most Influential People.

He talks all about bringing extinct dinosaurs to life using the dinosaurs that are still alive, and how imaging and modeling can help us learn more about how dinosaurs interacted with their world. In the news, we revisit the problem with solar storms, the state of methane concentrations, and another fusion energy check-in. 50:24 no This week we're talking to paleontologist, anatomist, and all-around crocophile Dr. Casey Holliday.

Your Hosts] James Reed (https://twitter.com/James_Reed3) Steffi Diem (https://twitter.com/SteffiDiem) Jason Organ (https://twitter.com/OrganJM) Our Guest Dr. Casey Holliday (https://twitter.com/CrocHolliday), uses the fossil record, biomechanics, and experimental methods to answer questions regarding the skull of many animals, how tissues move and protect the skeleton, and feeding function, behavior, and evolution. Dr. Holliday’s lab integrates 3D-imaging and modeling applications with classical anatomy techniques. Using anatomical foundation Casey can more accurately analyze cranial function and evolution in living taxa such as lizards, crocodylians, and birds, as well as test functional hypotheses in fossil dinosaurs, crocodyliforms and stem groups. He is heavily engaged in training the next generation of scientists. Taking full advantage of his lab’s unique focus promotes and inspires inquiry among students of all ages. Dr. Holliday hosts educational classes, workshops and online modules for K-beyond groups through his Inside Dinosaurs STEM education & Outreach Program. He manages the Annual Dinosaurs & Cavemen Science Expo each Spring at Rock Bridge High School in conjunction with the Columbia Schools Planetarium. The event shares topics and research with the community through a host of activities and displays.
