2021-06-17 15:06:02 +0000 UTCIs it possible to move into paleontological work or related work if you've already graduated with a non-science bachelor's degree? What would qualifications and experience would it take and how costly/how difficult would it be to get those?

2021-05-13 12:46:22 +0000 UTCIf you want to both be involved in paleontological research and get involved in making documentaries or docudramas about prehistoric life to educate the public, what kinds of jobs and/or events should you look out for while still in university to improve your ability to accomplish both goals later on?

2021-05-12 20:25:03 +0000 UTCHave we ever found animal behaviors in the fossil record that don't exist today? Would we know a new behavior if we saw it, or are we limited to behaviors we're already familiar with?
