このコンテンツについて
Erin and Howard sat down with paleontologist Dr. Tara Lepore for a fascinating dive into the science—and storytelling potential—of deep time. Dr. Lepore explains why paleontology is about far more than dinosaurs and how mammal teeth can reveal “birth certificates” millions of years old. We hope you come away with new ways to think about science as story—and how to weave the vastness of deep time into your own worlds.
Thing of the Week: University of California Museum of Paleontology
Homework: Find 3 ways that deep time could be interwoven into your current or upcoming writing project.
