Episode 43 - In The Park

Welcome to the Juras-Sick Park-Cast podcast, the Jurassic Park podcast about Michael Crichton's 1990 novel Jurassic Park, and also not about that, too. 

Find the episode webpage at: Episode 43 - In The Park.

In this episode, my terrific guest Cole Medeiros joins the show to chat with me about:

Prequels, San Francisco's seals, Jurassic Park, parasaurolophus and pachycephalosaurus, reconstructing dinosaurs via shrink-wrapping, envisioning an imaginative Jurassic universe, reconciling what's canon between the novel and film universes, adapting the novel on the screen, Michael Crichton's writing style, comparing Nedry's death to Wu's death, what the heck Malcolm was talking about, home CRISPR kits!, writing prequels, wide open backstories for all the characters, emulating Crichton's writing style, 123 Fake St., check out his website, just like he mentioned in the show! ColeMedeiros.com and his card game: Gubs by Gamewright , hear about his upcoming prequel to Jurassic park, and much more!

His favourite dinosaur is reportedly the Parasaurolophus : ) Here's P. walkeri 

Plus dinosaur news about:

• A non-avian dinosaur with a streamlined body exhibits potential adaptations for swimming (Natovenator polydontus)

• Intestinal preservation in a birdlike dinosaur supports conservatism in digestive canal evolution among theropods (Daurlong wangi)
