Bravo! A fascinating course, thank you. Dr. Martin speaks clearly and informatively with humour and insight. So many interesting subjects covered under the umbrella of "extinctions".
Terrific! Enlightening! Entertaining!
Thank you so much!
Dr. Martin made this highly informative class a joy to watch. :0)
Great course for the non-professional student- keeps the subject matter discussions light and contemporary. Especially loved the idea of ecological proxy, which I had never heard before!
