Dr. Paul Sereno
Photograph by Mike HettwerPerhaps the world’s best-known paleontologist, Paul Sereno has discovered over two dozen new species of dinosaur on five continents. He has led expeditions to the Andes, China, and the Sahara, and some of his discoveries have helped establish the once-radical idea of an evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds. Last year, with Chinese colleagues, he published findings of a herd of birdlike dinosaurs that he helped discover in the Gobi Desert, where the legendary Roy Chapman Andrews first discovered a treasure trove of dinosaurs in the 1930s. His work has been featured in numerous National Geographic articles and television productions, including two new films that will air on the National Geographic Channel this fall. One of the films will focus on crocodiles and the other will feature bizarre dinosaurs, including a dwarf dinosaur with a mushroom shaped head.
Sereno will share the excitement of hunting for dinosaur fossils, and report on his most recent
discoveries.
