Show Notes

"Smash a pudding... that's the type of violence you can see in the rocks!"

Melanie During is a vertebrate palaeontologist, currently pursuing a PHD at Uppsala University in Sweden. Melanie has a BS in Earth Sciences from the University of Amsterdam and a MS in palaeoclimatology from the VU (Vrije Universiteit) Amsterdam.

A life-long fascination with extinct fauna and evolution drove her to discover something, literally, earth-shattering: she's pinpointed, to the exact season, when the dinosaurs were wiped out.
