Field trip! Natural History Museum
Join us on a walkthrough of the University of Michigan Natural History Museum! We check out cool rocks, ancient fossilized cicada burrows, weird animals, and...more rocks! (Really! one is even a fossilized lightening strike). Watch to see a life size model of the largest ever animal to fly!
Christian couldn't make it for this episode, so Drew Larson joins Giorgia, sharing his knowledge of plants and deep time.
Catch the replay on:
A deeper dive: If our conversations of cicadas sound familiar, check out an H&W throwback, Episode 5: Eating Insects. Also mesosaurs and pterosaurs might have been extinct for a long time, but check out our episode on recent species extinctions.
