Welcome to episode 60! Get ready for some adventurous history. Laurel kicks things off with one of history's biggest, ugliest scientific feuds. At the center of it are two paleontologists--Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles (O.C.) Marsh. Once friends turned bitter rivals, their race to be at the forefront of their field led to decades of mud-slinging and personal and professional ruin but left us with a wealth of knowledge in paleontology!
Next, Kt takes us through the history of wayfinding, a thousands of years old tradition of navigation that allowed Pacific Islanders to travel the vast expanse of the treacherous Pacific Ocean using the sun, stars, waves, debris and migratory patterns of birds (and more)
