#183 From Backyard Digs to Bloody Mary: What a Decade of Dinosaur Podcasting Has Taught Sabrina Ricci
About this episode
The episode explores how citizen scientists contribute to paleontology through various discoveries and insights.
Ninety-nine point nine percent of Earth’s species have gone extinct, but their stories are still being uncovered, sometimes by everyday people. In this episode, host Sarah sits down with Sabrina Ricci of the I Know Dino podcast to explore how citizen scientists keep rewriting the dinosaur record. From “Teen Rex,” a juvenile T. rex found by a hiking family in North Dakota, to the recent scientific resolution of the Nanotyrannus debate, Sabrina shares the discoveries reshaping paleontology right now. They also dig into mummified Edmontosaurus fossils revealing soft tissue crests and hooves, what Earth’s five mass extinctions can teach us about today’s biodiversity crisis, and where listeners, including here in Australia, can join real fossil digs themselves. Plus: why future civilizations might think chickens ruled the world.
