On the Subject of… Pleistocene Ecology
In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with John Moretti, a PhD student at the University of Texas at Austin who travels deep into caves to study ancient animals of the Pleistocene & Holocene. We spoke about the science of Paleontology, the ethics of reviving Mammoths and other extinct species, ancient ecosystems of North America, cave diving, and much more.
About Jason
Hi, I’m Jason, a particularly well-traveled Geophysics Undergrad at UT Austin and someone deeply curious about a number of things: Geology, Glaciology, Wildlife Conservation, History, Language… all of it, frankly just Life.
This podcast is my attempt to share insightful discussions I have about Life (and its many facets). By doing this I hope to provide a useful archive for the people and topics I am interested in, however niche or unknown.
