Of Living Dinosaurs and Dead Birds

Show Description: 
Tune in when we talk with LUIS M. CHIAPPE, paleontologist for the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County about his stunning and revelatory new book GLORIFIED DINOSAURS: THE ORIGIN AND EARLY EVOLUTION OF BIRDS. You'll never look at a pigeon the same way again!

Then at 9:30, we talk with JULIE ELLIS, PhD of Tufts University, about an amazing project that has volunteers walking the beaches of New England to look for dead seabirds. Though that may sound grotesque, SEANET, the Seabird Ecological Assessment Network, is a wonderful example of "citizen science!"
Air Date and Time: 
Sunday the 30th at 9pm
