Dinos and Birds with Dr. Steve Brusatte

Dr. Steve Brusatte is a palentologist, author, consultant, professor, and much more - he wears so many hats! But communicating science is at the center to all he does. He joined us to talk about his latest work, The Story of Birds , a fascinating book exploring the history of birds from their dinosaur origins.
