Peering Inside Fossils
Paleontologist uses high-tech scans to probe relics of the past.

Suggested by Phyllis, who listens to WVTF in Richmond, Va.:

"I had bought a little headphone radio that I can wear while walking into work so that I wouldn't miss any interesting articles. On my way to work, I heard an article about using cat-scans on fossils. They can see hearts, embryos, brains, etc. without destroying the fossil. My daughter had appropriated the headphones to use on the computer, so I had to sit in the car finishing breakfast while listening to that."
