Palaeo After Dark is a group of three scientist friends who come together every other week to discuss recent scientific papers over a few drinks. If you'd like to know more about why we do this, please take a look at our Mission Statement.
James Lamsdell
James wins. I bet you didn't even know you were playing.
When not being deliberately obnoxious for the podcast, James studies arthropod evolution and macroevolutionary and macroecological processes as a postdoc at the American Museum of Natural History. Prior to this he has slummed around departments at Yale, University of Kansas, University of Bristol, and University of Birmingham. He also (very) occasionally tweets under @FossilDetective
Amanda Falk
Amanda is a level 8 druid priestess and a grand poobah in the Kentucky chapter of the CCC (Cat Collective Cultists). She also moonlights as an ornithologist.
OWL SOCKS
Curtis Congreve
Curtis is a phylogeneticist who focuses on beer and editing podcasts. He also sometimes works on studying mass extinction events. He likes long walks, short piers, and Sisyphean tasks.
Past Hosts
Sir David Attenborough fon Ronsenburg,
Duke of Burble (In Memoriam)
We honor the passing of our most popular podcast host. A distant relative of the House of Hohenzollern and as such fifty-sixth in line for the throne of Prussia, His Grace was disdainful of his noble heritage (because he was a cat) and often went by the name of Mr. Jowls or sometimes just Butt. While expecting to be pampered and treated with utmost respect (not because he was noble, but because he was a cat), Mr. Jowls was perhaps the most disruptive member of the podcast crew but in many ways the most honest and insightful (because he was a cat). When not sleeping (because he was a cat) he liked to interrupt the podcast to doof the microphone (because he was a cat) or stand on Amanda's computer while recording (because he was a cat).
