Summary

Part 3 of 5! Every Saturday this month, we’re re-watching all of the Jurassic Park movies and chatting about the science in a series of “science reviews.” How do these movies handle such subjects as prehistoric creatures, the science of paleontology, and the portrayal of scientists? This time, the last of the original trilogy: Jurassic Park III (2001).

0:10.3	Hello, listeners, and welcome back to our Jurassic Park mini-series of science review thing that we're doing for June.
