Hello. now. Hello and welcome to I Know Dino.

I'm Garrett.

And I'm Sabrina.

And today we'll be interviewing Dr. Philip Curry, who is interestingly one of the

paleontologists that Jurassic Park film modeled Alan Grant,

who's the main paleontologist. But he's also a significant real paleontologist. Dr. Curry is very

interesting. He started a class called Dino 101, which is a free online dinosaur class, which teaches all the basics and it tells you

about the difference between ornithopods and theropods and other dinosaur groups. And it has

lots of neat interactive elements. So anyone listening should try to check that out if you can.

He's a Canadian paleontologist. He is one of the paleontologists who first hypothesized that large theropods, including

Tyrannosaurs, hunted in packs and lived in large groups. So without further ado, here's our

interview with Dr. Phil Curry. So with us today,

we have Dr. Philip John Curry from the University of Alberta. Dr. Curry is named 25 new dinosaurs

and had three named in his honor. He's also famous for a centrosaurus bonebed, hadrosaur nesting

sites, and the Canada-China dinosaur project,

and he has written numerous books. He started working at the Royal Alberta Museum in 1976,

then the Provincial Museum of Alberta, and found so many dinosaur bones, the museum ran out

of storage space. In 1979, he wrote the proposal for what is now the Tyrell Museum,

which showcases Alberta's dinosaurs, and has lab facilities, a study center, and massive storage space.

In 2005, he took up the Canada Research Chair at the University of Alberta so he could spend more time in the field.
