Episode Synopsis

Dr. Keller, a professor emeritus of paleontology and geology at Princeton, shared her journey from a childhood in poverty to becoming a leading expert on mass extinctions and impact events. She discussed her unconventional path, including traveling the world during wars and surviving a shooting, before eventually pursuing a career in science. Dr. Keller's research challenges the traditional asteroid impact theory for the extinction of dinosaurs, proposing instead that volcanic activity played a significant role. The Space Show audience was introduced to her work and invited to learn more about her findings and career. Read the full summary at www.theswpaceshow.com and at doctorspace.substack.com.
