Hour Two: Lying /
Paleontologist Michael Novacek

Wondered what it would be like to wander the world in search of
Velociraptors or T. Rex? In this hour of Science Friday, Ira talks
with real-life paleontologist Michael Novacek about his life and
work, and discusses Novacek's new book ("Time
Traveler: In Search of Dinosaurs and Ancient Mammals from Montana
to Mongolia.") |
