Who are we?
"Welcome to Palaeoparty! hosted by Drs Dean, Dunne, and Clements!"
PalaeoParty was born when Chris needed someone to help share a slot with him on the Dino Nerds for Black Lives Matter livestream in June 2020. Thomas and Emma answered the call and loved it so much that they decided to turn the experience into a regular thing!
When not rambling about random stuff that is vaguely palaeo-related, Chris works at the Natural History Museum in London, and both Thomas and Emma are postdoctoral researchers at the University of Birmingham.
Every week we ask each guest to use The UpGoerFive text editor to describe their research. Here are our own attempts:

Chris' work looks at how the type and area of rocks through time and space has changed how many animals have turned to rock and been found by people. This allows us to understand how the number of animals has changed through time. This sounds cool, but he spends most of his time looking at a computer!
Emma looks at how the numbers of different animals have changed over time, and how changes in the world around them make these numbers change. (How many more times can I use the word 'change'?). To do this, she spends most of her time at her computer, but sometimes manages to get outside and look for animals in rocks which makes her very happy!
Thomas studies what happens when an animal dies and how that animal can turn into rock. He does this by watching what happens to the animals after they die as they turn to water and then to nothing. His job smells very bad.
