In this episode of the Curious Compassionate, Emily Dangremond and Joyce Uglow discuss Joyce’s new book, STUCK: the Story of La Brea Tar Pits. We discuss the process of finding a topic to write about related to tar pits and fossils; scientific research and working with scientists that vetted the book; and how Joyce became a picture book writer. Joyce quizzes Emily on which animal was found the most in the tar pits, and which plant—see if you can guess correctly!
