Dinosaurs
The Lost World, the sequel to Jurassic Park, opens on Monday, so this week Science Friday is looking at real dinosaur science. We'll talk about a new discovery that may be the link between birds and dinosaurs, and that treasure trove of fossils recently found in China. We'll also find out how closely the film mirrors scientific reality.
