Summary

In the last of our series from the massive Society of Vertebrate Paleontology meeting, Susie and Rob finally manage to catch up for a gossip. In this episode with get a disgusting taste of rotting crocodile experiments with Stephanie Drumheller of the University of Tennessee, an insight into the Dinosaur battle bus education project that has been travelling the Mongolian steppe with Bolor Minjin of the American Museum of Natural History and the Institute for the Study of Mongolian Dinosaurs, and finally how engineering approaches can help us figure out what fossil organisms were up to long after their death with Emily Rayfield, University of Bristol.
