How one scientist reconstructs the evolutionary history of the world's most fearsome predators.
In short: Matthew Carrano leads the study of dinosaurs at the National Museum of Natural History. This video follows his work as he excavates, analyzes, and catalogs fossils to deepen our collective knowledge of prehistoric life.
As the lead expert on dinosaurs at Washington, D.C.'s premier natural history institution, Matthew Carrano specializes in the lineage of meat-eating species. His work spans the entire process of paleontological discovery, from field excavations across the globe to the meticulous laboratory analysis required to classify new findings.
Beyond his research, Carrano manages the museum's extensive dinosaur exhibits. By bridging the gap between raw fossil data and public education, he helps shape how we interpret the evolutionary development of ancient predatory animals.
