Paleontology's Indiana Jones: from digging to designing, this celebrity scientist has helped map the evolution of dinosaurs
Article Abstract:
Paleontologist Paul C. Sereno of the University of Chicago is both a successful dinosaur researcher and teacher, and an effective popularizer of science. His discovery of several new species, and research challenging prevailing theories of predator and prey co-evolution, are complemented by his commitment to helping children develop an interest in science.
