I’m so sad to hear the news that Richard Fortey is no longer with us. He was a brilliant palaeontologist, writer and tv presenter - and a lovely person. I had the pleasure of interviewing him and working with him. He was so passionate about sharing his science.

One might think that Nazi crimes and palaeontology never overlapped, and yet... Have you ever wondered what happened to tens of palaeontologists & geologists in the Nazi-occupied Poland? How academics helped to bring down the fascist regime. And a curious story of Schindler-equivalent in geology. 🧵
