We are back on the rails again for another exciting episode of Cube Engineers!
In this episode, TrainmasterGT invites Dr. Nick Longrich, Visiting Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Biology and Biochemistry at the University of Bath and founder of the Deep Time Foundation to discuss the philosophy of scientific discourse and evolutionary biology. Dr. Longrich has made many cool discoveries and played a role in resolving major controversies in the field of paleontology, including the description of Titanoceratops and the confirmation of Nanotyrannus as a distinct species. Find out how newly uncovered species of extinct animals are described and when unique creatures can be hiding in plain sight. Learn why clear communication and intellectual humility are essential for thinking like a true scientist.
All Aboard!
