The subtle dinosaur business wear thrills me. I mean, the science is why I'm here, which is thrilling, too. You guys are making science discoveries cool and hip and accessible. Gotta love that.
The car analogy is fantastic. It would be really cool to see a full visualization of theorized lineages with ghost vs evidenced differentiated on the chart.
@@robertpryor7225 No, that's the car fossil record. They could have still extant models. Just like the celocanth, we could have fossils without the species being extinct.
I love how he tells the story. You always have such great people on your show. Makes me regret not having gone the route into science. Thank you for letting us peak into this world as outsiders anyway!
This was so cool!! I love all the enthusiasm and how lively everything was in the whole story. Well done Emily & Brandon for this excellent science storytelling.
It's stories like this that remind me why I want to go into palaeontology - I can't wait to be in this field (and the field) with so much still to find out! Thanks again for another great video!
Two infectiously curious and enthusiastic presenters tell an interesting story about how scientific discovery works? I might end up rewatching this episode even more than the "Arthropod!" episode. Oh who am I kidding. I'll never tire of "Arthropod!".
Every time the word arthropod is spoken near me, I immediately say "ARTHROPOD!" in the same dramatic tone as they do in that episode and everyone looks at me weird...
Thank you for taking me down paths I do have a mild interest in, but am too involved otherwise to explore in depth. You open new vistas and avenues of interest that give me enough information to decide if I want to add a new field of interest (possibly abandoning a current, less dynamic interest), or if I can just add that information to a related interest. To put it in more contemporary, less pedantic terms, you ROCK, Emily! Thanks again...................
I was obsessed with his shirt, and went on a research spree. Well, I found it, it's by Coton Doux Paris, but it's practically out of circulation. I am now sad.
What an excellent video!!! Such a nice story. Oh, the ups and downs of science! :D Such a fun editing. Emily is always a great scicomm'er, but also her guest, Brandon, does such a great scicomm'ing job! And he does that Emily thing of wearing illustrative fashion...lol!!
I was turned on to this channel recently (by Smarter Every Day IIRC) and watched every video over the past 3 weeks. What a journey you have been on! While bummed I wasn't a part of it all the way back from misdialing Lens Crafters, I'm so excited to see where it goes from here. This is one of my favorite channels now, and whenever I get to Chicago to visit friends, I'm going to have to stop by the Field Museum now as well! Keep up the amazing work.
Brandon is such a cool and charismatic guy with an irreproachable fashion sense. Another great episode, and the story is a splendid look into the sometimes clumsy but always interesting march of science.
Happy 30th Birthday Emily. I hope that whatever you do on this day your birthday that it is filled with love, laughter, family and friends. I also hope that someday we meet and become great friends.
Such a great way to learn about humility and love of science, because many would have pretended to ignore that discovery during the conference. There was so much good information in this video!
The comparison between junk yard cars and fossils works really well. I'm going to 'borrow' it from you :D

can i please love this episode? !!! i am so proud of the job of every one at museums... maybe one day i have a job in one! is now my dream! you helped me figure out that was what i want... so thank you for the amount of inspiration!
3:00 Imagine this. A fisherman is hauling in his catch, hoping to sell it for enough to cover his fuel costs plus have some extra for his family and this weird woman suddenly gets really excited about one of the fish he caught. To him it is just a fish, not unlike any of the other fish he catches every day. How many other discoveries are missed because no one who knows what they are seeing sees it. How many other discoveries just ended up as someones dinner?
This episode had a REALLY strong Radio Lab vibe to it. Also it's so nice to see scientists our age REALLY EXCITED about stuff. I'm so used to only seeing much older subject matter experts.
I've got to give him credit for his optimistic outlook. I'm sure that he put lots of work in before discovering his bone was not as groundbreaking as first thought. Modern science is all about finding a positive spin for your data though so good on you!
How do we know there should be older reptiles, how can you tell how long ago they diverged from the mammal lineage? Also Im now wondering, how do we know the shape of old continents? I would definitely watch more videos on this topic!
Emily, love that necklace you’re wearing in the shots where you’re sitting at a table behind a coelacanth. Also, the shirt (dress?) with all the fish on it.
Tropical climates: great for living animals, terrible for fossil formation and preservation. I don't have the patience to be a paleontologist, it's gotta be insanely frustrating. Cool, but frustrating.
You work for the institution that has what is most likely the most extensive and finest collection of Mazon Creek fossils in the entire world. You should do a full-length feature movie/video for everyone in the world. The Illinois Museum of Natural History has the next best and if you work in conjunction with them you can make a world-class, perhaps even award-winning, presentation.
Love your videos, every time I watch one I learn a big or small face that changes my perspective on the world! Thank you! Also you remind me of my twin sister ☺️
pixelized all I care about is his passion for paleontology and his sweet demeanor. The rest we can work out. He’s just so stinking cute AAAANNNNNDDD he’s a paleontologist . Gee wiz.
I am saying 'reptiles', but what I mean is Sauria (clade containing Archosauromorpha and Lepidosauromorpha; AKA modern reptiles). So far we have found no records of lepidosauromorphs in the Permian, but there are a very few Permian archosauromorphs restricted to equatorial Pangea.
Palaeontologist is just another term for “absolute coolness”. I wish I could make my husband wear such a cool dino shirt. Dr Peecook is smart and fashionable all in one.
Yeah, I agree. It's how the system is supposed to work, but it also makes scientists look indecisive and ignorant to people who have no idea that's the system working as intended. "They constantly get it wrong", they'll say. Whereas the reaction should be "Oh cool, how did they figure it out?"
The problem isnt that they are constantly wrong and having to revise. The problem is that there is the constant recommendation to base your life views on empiracle science rather than things like religion, or anything else, since science can be proven right, or wrong, and the religion,and other belief ideals are supposed infalsifiable. It would be a good recommendation if it didnt change all the time. Because especially when you live your life, and most of your beliefs based around a particular scientific paradigm, and some revolution in science rewrites half of some of the most important things you held to be foundational, and untouchable then literally all of that time is wasted. Now some can say "it's not a big deal,just change your mind with the data" Perhaps it can be that simple when dealing in the relatively trivial matters. Such as a new subspiecis of sea urchin where it was previously stated there should be none. But then you get things like the Lazarus taxon they make mention of here. Which is in my opinion one of the most underplayed, and underfocoused phenomina in science for a long time. And for good reason. If it were taken seriously ,it would destroy alot of foundations,and then where do you go from there? Because the serious implications of Lazarus taxon is that things can, and do disappear for hyper extended periods of time in thevfossile record with no apparent reason, but live on for god knows how long. The reason such a thing is shattering to the fundimentals I'd taken seriously is because that by default means we could be completely wrong about every fossil dating whe have given everything, we place things in the fossil record based on when they appear, and disapera, but the implication of Lazarus taxon is that things we considered transitional forms, or early acestors could have easily lived along side thier earlier/later counterparts contemporarily, and not have been a transitional form at all. We have indeed found problems like this, such as the famous archaeopteryx being the transition for birds,but having lived far earlier that the small theropod type dinosaurs it was supposed to have come from, and leaving a huge gap in time between. Theropods, and birds without any real evidence of the transition. And if we cant rely on the fossil record to preserve things in order properly. That some animals may, or may not be transitions/ancestors/descendants. And if we dont have a reliable record of that, then almost the whole case goes up in smoke. So yes it makes sense that such phenomina would be underfocoused. It is just one example of paradigm shattering implications that come about in science. And I understand the fear of admitting such faults, as it would make many doubt the good science can be, and that would not be good. But I hope this illustraits well what I meant.
The subtle dinosaur business wear thrills me. I mean, the science is why I'm here, which is thrilling, too. You guys are making science discoveries cool and hip and accessible. Gotta love that.
It's extremely important to make science look cool, because if it does, then you get more funds.
I never noticed that while watching the video. But that's more because he's very passionate about this work.
Whoa, he is very articulate and fun to listen to, please more Videos with him.
timcampo yes please!

Thank you so much. Working with the Brain Scoop was a blast. Here's hoping to more in the future!

I like Brandon's spunk and passion for his work and field of expertise. Thanks for introducing him to us! What a delightful lad.
Man I wish i had more likes to give this video! I never fail to learn something from this channel. Thank's Emily, you're my hero.
Yeah m8 you're not alone! I show this to my niece when I baby sit
Dr. Peecook is so cool. There are so many cool employees at the museum. Thank you for introducing him to us.
He's even named like a character from the game "Clue".
C. August McMullen true to that
The car analogy is fantastic. It would be really cool to see a full visualization of theorized lineages with ghost vs evidenced differentiated on the chart.
So extinct animals are in the junkyard
@@robertpryor7225 No, that's the car fossil record. They could have still extant models. Just like the celocanth, we could have fossils without the species being extinct.
it's not it assumes something that isn't proven, it puts a story where there isn't one
Me: This is such cool information!
My brain: His shirt. His shirt! Look at his *shirt*!!! 7:27 NICE!
Same
Omg I was thinking the same thing! 🤣 shut up and take my money!
I dont get it...
@@skullface2694 - there are reptiles all over his shirt
Lazarus Taxon is the name of my next D&D character.
I love how he tells the story. You always have such great people on your show. Makes me regret not having gone the route into science. Thank you for letting us peak into this world as outsiders anyway!
They're not all like that. In fact this guy is a rare gem. You made the right choice lmao
I love the fashion decisions scientist make 😂
This was so cool!! I love all the enthusiasm and how lively everything was in the whole story. Well done Emily & Brandon for this excellent science storytelling.
i need more videos with this guy, he's so charismatic!
In science there is always something to learn from being wrong.
not like religion which full of mistakes which are never corrected.
And that's why Holy bible is great it never make mistakes.
@@doburu4835 even that is not reliable cause some of it's verses are not even literal they are symbolic which has an different meaning all together.
@@andrewgan557 I was just joking around.
And they do have a lot to learn.....

Such a great episode. Thanks for always bringing the high quality content, and the inside looks into the science world!
Super cool interview, neck vertebra, ghost lineage, yadda yadda, OMG I LOVE HIS SHIRT ...
The giddiness of devoted inquirers is contagious and I always feel invigorated after witnessing it.

Any chance we can have "several consecutive calendar days dedicated to predatory cartilagenous fishes " again?

“Take the coelacanth”
The museum won’t let me! :)
This is a very good Brain Scoop episode. I knew there are gaps in fossil records, but here are some very cogent explanations as to why.
Ooo i hope to hear more stories about scientists like these! So weird how all scientific fields can be interconnected without one ever knowing it!
I was turned on to this channel recently (by Smarter Every Day IIRC) and watched every video over the past 3 weeks. What a journey you have been on!

Love the enthusiasm this man has for scientific research!!! He makes science fun we need more people like him sharing with younger generations!!
Brandon is such a cool and charismatic guy with an irreproachable fashion sense. Another great episode, and the story is a splendid look into the sometimes clumsy but always interesting march of science.
Dr. Peecook seems to be such an interesting guy! Any chance of seeing more of him on this channel?
DINOSAUR SHIRT. the only cool dinosaur printed shirts that I find are in the kids departement :'(
You might try Etsy. It could be someone had the fabric and made a custom shirt from it. Or it could be it came from a more unusual online store.
it's a pricey shirt but worth it: www.cotondoux.com/en/p/8668-women-shirt
So???
That just means you get it in the largest size they have, AND you'll sometimes even get a discount *because* it's the kids dept ; )
@@superdemonboy but there's never my size :( it stops at 15 yo and the sleeves gets to my elbow x)
Happy 30th Birthday Emily. I hope that whatever you do on this day your birthday that it is filled with love, laughter, family and friends. I also hope that someday we meet and become great friends.
Honestly, these videos are always great, and this one is no different, love what you guys are doing keep up the great work😊

I love how we all thought coelacanths were very very extinct until some random person accidentally caught one
I could listen to this guy talk for literally ever

good work and good video!
Love learning from the videos posted. Keep up the excellent work.
Egoless Science! I love it. Great video. Would like to hear more from Dr. peecook.
Sadly I only just came across your work.
Amazing, captivating and intuitive.
The videos are good too.
Can't wait to see how far you go.
This is like the best video about dinosaurs, science, and museums!
I'm looking forward to the video with the Triceratops Lady. She sounds delightful.
Brilliant video. More like this, please!
The car analogy for evolution and the fossil record is really good.
There is probably a lot about the process of fossilization that we don't wholly understand yet.
This was so interesting! Thankyou!
Dr. Brandon is very funny 😄
I've got to give him credit for his optimistic outlook. I'm sure that he put lots of work in before discovering his bone was not as groundbreaking as first thought. Modern science is all about finding a positive spin for your data though so good on you!
feel so guilty NOT to watch an advertisement before such a great video begins.
When you drop everything you’re doing because you get a notification that there’s a new Brain Scoop video
Awesome video. Love Brandon!! Thanks for explaining at my pea brain level 🤣. Great channel.
How do we know there should be older reptiles, how can you tell how long ago they diverged from the mammal lineage? Also Im now wondering, how do we know the shape of old continents? I would definitely watch more videos on this topic!

Peecook's great. I caught one of his lectures at at Palaeofest once.
Really great explanation by Brandon. Probably a good T.A. instructor or lecturer.
