PalaeoParty! is a biweekly interactive podcast about palaeontology.

In today's episode we chat with Dr Thomas Wong-Hearing, a Postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University, UK. Thomas explains how we work out the climate of the Earth 550 million years ago - a very important time in the history of the planet, when animals suddenly appear in the fossil record! Thomas can be found on twitter @ThomasHearing. We also get to meet Dr. Deans' two house rabbits: Hank and Mouse! (Don't say we don't give you anything extra here at PalaeoParty!). 

Each week we invite a new palaeontologist guest to join our hosts, Dr Emma Dunne, Dr Chris Dean and Dr Thomas Clements, as we laugh about weird fossils, odd science and whatever else pops into their brains! PalaeoParty! is unlike other podcasts because we live stream each episode on Twitch so you can chat and ask our guests questions in real time!
