Summary

Welcome to our Spotlight Series! We’re talking paleo-science with some paleo-people! Across this 5-part series, you’ll get to know some paleontologists as we interview them about their research and their lives as scientists. Our theme for this series is Invertebrate Paleontology. In this first episode, we sit down with Dave Marshall to chat about his research on eurypterids (sea scorpions!) and his work creating and running Palaeocast, the Virtual Natural History Museum, and more! Find Dave in these places:Twitter: @DaveJMarshallPalaeocast.comVNHM.org If you like Spotlight, let us know and we'll do more of it in the future!

1:12.1	So that's quite an honour you've bestowed upon me.
1:14.8	I am a PhD candidate, PhD student at the University of Bristol, and I study Euripterids, which are arthropods.
