Society of Vertebrate Paleontology Annual Meeting 2015
Welcome to our coverage of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP) annual meeting from Dallas, Texas. This year was the 75th anniversary of the society and Caitlin headed down to find out what vertebrate palaeontology researchers and educators had been up to since we last heard from them in Berlin.
We have three mini-episodes for you reporting from the conference. In the first we talk to education specialists working with schools and the general public to spread the vertebrate palaeontology word, in the second we meet scientists from the SVP and in the final part we chat about the history of the meeting on its 75th birthday.
