Show Notes

The identification and naming of new species may not be the most glamorous field of biology, but every species' name tells a story about that species itself and baout the person that named it. In this episode we head to New England to explore the stories behind dinosaur names and why they're important. We start with one of the most famous of all dinosaurs in Yale's Peabody Museum, then head upstream with paleontologist Tara Lepore where two smaller and lesser known dinosaurs that recently went head-to head to be named Massachusetts' state dinosaur.
