Brian has been a fossil fanatic since the time he was knee-high to a Stegosaurus. His evolution into a science writer and amateur paleontologist was only natural.
Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, right in the center of dinosaur country, he chases tales of vanished lives from museum collections to remote badlands.
A prolific writer, Brian regularly covers the latest prehistoric discoveries on his Scientific American blog Laelaps. His fossil-filled tweets have led Business Insider to call him one of the top "science social media wizards" and HLN to dub him one of "Twitter's 8 coolest geeks", as well, and he has just partnered with Parallax Film to host Dinologue, a new website and videocast all about what's new with the really, really old. And in a childhood dream come true, Brian was also hired to be the "resident paleontologist" for Jurassic World.
