S2 Ep6. Corals, climate change and colonialism with Nussaïbah Raja

PalaeoParty!

In today's *CURSED* episode we chat with Nussaïbah Raja, a geographer/palaeontologist/data scientist undertaking her PhD in Germany.

We have all sorts of technical hiccups but we do manage to chat about some super exciting climate change science and Nussaïbah's really impactful work investigating colonialism in palaeontology. We also chat about fossils found within amber from Myanmar and highlight the impact that palaeo is having in fueling the humanitarian crisis in the area. Nussaïbah can be found on Twitter @mauritiantales.

PalaeoParty! is a biweekly interactive podcast about palaeontology. 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!

This season is generously funded by the Paleontological Society Outreach and Education Grant.
