For more than 100 years, no one knew how Smithsonian scientist Robert Kennicott died. He started as part of a rowdy band of scientists who lived in the Smithsonian Castle and named themselves the megatherium club after an extinct giant sloth. When their work was done for the day, they took to drinking, having sack races down the hallways and serenading the boss’s daughters. To start the new season of our podcast Sidedoor, we trace Kennicott’s life and uncover the mystery of his death with our modern bone detectives. Listen now online and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. -- source link
