Brains Matter Episode 121 - From Slime to Dinosaurs

Today’s episode is the audio of the Brains Matter & Monash Science Centre’s National Science Week live show, held on 15/8/2010. The topic was “From Slime to Dinosaurs”, and I interviewed renown palaeontologst, Professor Patricia Vickers-Rich on:

- How long the earth has been around
- What are the geological processes occurring, and that have occurred in the past?
- How long ago did life arise on Earth?
- A discussion on early life
- When did dinosaurs first appear?
- How can we tell what creatures looked like just from their bones?
- Where are dinosaur fossils generally found?
- A discussion on Australian dinosaurs

And of course, questions from the enthusiastic audience members, and some really amazing kids!
