Colma, California is an odd place: the dead outnumber the living. This imbalance arose through massive cemetery relocations to free up space in nearby San Francisco. In this episode, we unearth obscure Bay Area history with volunteers who work to identify human remains inadvertently unearthed during SF home renovations. This is a story of death and devotion in a city in flux.
A little about ourselves: Bone Lab Radio was founded by a group of friends in San Francisco. Kate, Jeannie, Jennifer, and Jenny are academic researchers and science communicators with expertise in anatomy, evolution, and development of the skeleton. We believe that bones have qualities that capture the imagination. Whether fossilized, x-rayed, cataloged in a museum, or just helping us move around, bones have stories to tell.
