Summary

Welcome to our Spotlight Series! We’re talking paleo-science with some paleo-people! In this 5-part series, we’ve interviewed 5 different invertebrate paleontologists about their research and other work. It’s Episode 2, and we’re chatting with Adriane Lam to discuss her work exploring ancient oceans through tiny foraminifera (not technically invertebrates, we know…) as well as her efforts bringing scientists and science education to the public with Time Scavengers! Find Adriane and Time Scavengers in these places:Twitter: @ForamWhisperer; @TimeScavengersTimescavengers.blog Facebook.com/TimeScavengers/ If you like Spotlight, let us know and we'll do more of it in the future!

0:19.0	Hello, Will. Hello, David.

0:47.6	For this mini-series, we have chosen the theme of invertebrate paleontology, and today we are
0:53.0	joined by paleontologist Adrian Lamb. Adrian, if you
0:56.8	would, please introduce yourself to our listeners. Yeah. So I am a PhD candidate. So that means that I'm

1:10.1	in Amherst, Massachusetts.
1:16.4	And your specialty, at least these days, you are studying foraminifera, right?
1:20.4	Correct. I study this little group of protists called forminifera.
1:28.5	Excellent. And now, astute listeners may have already spotted the inconsistency here.
1:31.3	We set the theme with vertebrate paleontology,
