In this article I share a new podcast interview with The Shine Bright Like the Firmament podcast. The podcast covers conversations with science professionals who are practicing Catholics to show that faith and science do not need to be mutually exclusive.
At the end of 2024 I was invited on to The Shine Bright Like the Firmament podcast to share about my experience as a Catholic palaeontologist.
The Shine Bright Like the Firmament Podcast created by Madeline Shepley covers conversations with science professionals who are practicing Catholics to show that faith and science don’t need to be mutually exclusive. You can listen to episode 74 of the podcast below.
In episode 74, Madeline chats with James, a British palaeontologist. During their conversation, they discuss his undergrad degree in geography, his masters in palaeobiology from the University of Bristol, his work with CAFOD, what higher education looks like in his country, the sorts of things you learn about as a palaeontologist.
The podcast also covers James field work in Montana, how science can lend credence to certain aspects, his fascination with hadrosaurs, being Catholic in England, advocating in an inviting way, demographic problems in the Western Church, the call to helping others, his science communication work, and so much more!
During the course of their conversation, they make many references which you can explore, including episode 39 of this podcast. You can also check out James’ work on his website.
