Resurrecting a ‘flipping ship,’ and solving the ‘bone paradox’ in ancient remains

Sean Cummings, a freelance science writer focused on oceanographic research, discusses the remarkable Floating Instrument Platform (R/V FLIP) which can flip vertically for stability in research. He reveals plans for its renovation for future use. Meanwhile, Samantha Yousey, a bioarchaeology professor, tackles the bone paradox: do lesions indicate frailty or resilience in medieval Londoners? Their conversation delves into how ancient health indicators can reshape our understanding of human endurance and the complexities of mortality in past societies.
