121 – From Slime to Dinosaurs – National Science Week Live Show
Today’s episode is the audio of the Brains Matter & Monash Science Centre’s National Science Week live show, held on 15/8/2010. The topic was “From Slime to Dinosaurs”, and I interviewed renown palaeontologst, Professor Patricia Vickers-Rich on:
– How long the earth has been around
– What are the geological processes occurring, and that have occurred in the past?
– How long ago did life arise on Earth?
– A discussion on early life
– When did dinosaurs first appear?
– How can we tell what creatures looked like just from their bones?
– Where are dinosaur fossils generally found?
– A discussion on Australian dinosaurs
And of course, questions from the enthusiastic audience members, and some really amazing kids!
