Episode 93: What does a paleontology Youtuber do?


Listen Later

To welcome in the new year, we have Dr. Darcy Shapiro (PBS Eons) on the podcast to talk about her work managing science communication content all about paleontology, the study of fossil animals and plants.

What mammals roamed the Earth back in the Miocene, and do we see animals living then that resemble apes at all? What is the day-to-day work of a content manager for a science YouTube channel? How did Darcy transition from being a biological anthropologist in academia to becoming a full-time science communicator? What expertise, process and skills are required to work in writing and producing effective and educational videos?

You can find more information in the show notes under the episode on our website.
