Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
A Brontosaurus on a Polish postage stamp.
Last week, kids of all ages cheered the news that the Brontosaurus is back. A new study says the long-necked animal — for a century thought to be essentially the same as the Apatosaurus — is in fact a distinct genus of dinosaur. We learn about the research changing how dinosaurs are classified and get an update on the five-year project under way at the Smithsonian to take apart and study the fossils there.
