Summary: <h2>Meeting of the Minds</h2> <p>There is no bigger paleontology conference for fans of dinosaurs, prehistoric mammals, birds, fishes, and reptiles than the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology Annual Meeting. The 78th annual meeting just took place this October in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA and Matt, Adam, and Catherine were in attendance. They learned about a lot of exciting new discoveries in natural history, and they also made friends with another pair of paleo-podcasters: Garrett and Sabrina of I Know Dino!</p> <h2>Dig Deeper</h2> <p>For more about the SVP meeting, visit the society website at <a href="http://www.vertpaleo.org">www.vertpaleo.org</a>.
