So I went to university after that, and I did a master's.
A master of science.
Well, supposedly.
I do, indeed, yes.
Basically, people send in samples and we tell them how old they are, so how long it's been since those samples died.
So we get boring samples like charcoal and wood, and we get the more interesting ones like animal bone and human bone.
I think we had whale vomit come in.
Old whale vomit.
How old was it?
I think it was like 20,000 years old.
Yeah, yeah.
It's crazy.
I can't remember what country it was from, but it's crazy stuff.
Yeah, yeah, it's sort of, yeah, I think that was it.
Fossilised.
And we get, like, crazy human bone samples from police and forensics and stuff.
Yeah, I'm actually at home at the moment, so I'm trying to keep my 10-month-old and two-year-old quiet.
Okay, let's hope.
