In 12 years of podcasting, we have never actually taken the time to address the fundamentals of our field. Such questions could include: what is palaeontology, what is a fossil, how does one become a palaeontologist, and why is palaeontology important? For what should have been our very first episode, we've invited Prof. Roy Plotnick, University of Illinois Chicago, to help us outline everything you need to know about the field of palaeontology. Roy has had a long and varied palaeontological career, he maintains a <a href= "https://plotnick.medium.com/">blog</a> all about the field, and he is author of the book <a href= "https://cup.columbia.edu/book/explorers-of-deep-time/9780231195348" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Explorers of Deep Time</a>.
