Osteology (SKELETONS/BODY FARMS) with Daniel Wescott
b"Let's dig right into Spooktober with ... BONES. You're a steak-covered skeleton and it's nothing to fear. The amazingly kind and committed osteologist Dr. Daniel J. Wescott of Texas State University's famed Forensic Anthropology Research Center sits down -- surrounded by skulls and femurs and ribs -- and chats about how bones are formed, how they break, why they might hurt when the weather changes, what CSI gets wrong, how long it takes a body to decompose, looking for isotopes in found remains, cast iron coffins, skeleton myths, body donation, and more. Will Alie freak out, or will this exposure to hundreds of skeletons under one roof chill her out? \\n\\nAlso, dickbones: are they for winners or losers?\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nA donation went to\\xa0the Texas State Forensic Anthropology Research Center \\n\\nSponsor links:\\xa0kiwi.com/ologies; withcove.com/ologies; HelloFresh.com/Ologies80; \\n\\nMore links up at\\xa0alieward.com/ologies/osteology\\n\\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month:\\xa0www.Patreon.com/ologies\\n\\nOlogiesMerch.com\\xa0has hats, shirts, pins, totes and STIIIICKERS!\\n\\nFollow\\xa0twitter.com/ologies\\xa0or\\xa0instagram.com/ologies\\n\\nFollow\\xa0twitter.com/AlieWard\\xa0or\\xa0instagram.com/AlieWard\\n\\nSound editing by\\xa0Jarrett Sleeper\\xa0of\\xa0MindJam Media\\xa0&\\xa0Steven Ray Morris\\n\\nTheme song by Nick Thorburn\\n\\nSpecial thanks to Dr. Joe Hanson\\n\\nSupport the show: http://Patreon.com/ologies"
