Fossils need expert care when they are discovered, extracted, prepared, stored, and displayed in order to ensure their longevity and scientific utility. When most people see fossils in museums they think of paleontologists in the field. They may often fail to realize that the specimen they’re looking at is in a state of decay right before their eyes! Museum conservators are tasked with preserving the museum’s collections which could include fossils, taxidermy, archeological remains, pieces of art, and all of the other exhibits you would normally see. For this episode, I spoke with Dr. Mariana Di Giacomo, conservator at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University. We talk about her role at the museum, the factors that lead to fossil decay, and the steps one can take to care for their own fossils at home. We also discuss paleontology in Latin America and the renovations underway at the Yale Peabody museum.

Hola, gracias por escuchar un podcast de ciencia.Yo soy Soledad Machado, soy divulgadora científica y te hablo desde Montevideo, Uruguay.Este es el primer episodio de la temporada 2019, y tiene tremenda invitada.Mariana Di Giacomo es una paleontóloga uruguaya realizando su doctorado en la Universidad de Delaware en EEUU. Su tema de especialización es la conservación de fósiles, y los efectos que tienen las técnicas de preparación sobre la preservación a largo plazo de estos restos. Mariana siempre quiso ser paleontóloga. Hizo su licenciatura y maestría en Facultad de Ciencias, UdelaR, y trabajó en el sitio Arroyo del Vizcaíno. Este sitio la inspiró a enfocarse en la preservación de los restos, y hoy en día continúa colaborando con el grupo de trabajo del Vizcaíno. ¡¡LOS LINKS!!http://www.arroyodelvizcaino.org/ http://www.megafauna3d.org/ https://www.fieldmuseum.org/blog/fresh-science-makeover-sue (Sue y "sue" gastralia)https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/welcome-to-jurassic-art/ (el episodio de 99% invisible sobre los dibujos de los dinosaurios.Gracias por escuchar "Un Podcast de Ciencia", nos podés encontrar, suscribirte y dejar un comentario en iVoox.com y en Apple Podcast.
