Paul Sereno

Featured Keynote Programs

Inspiration
After a rocky youth with failing grades, Sereno squeaked into college aiming to become a painter. Discovering paleontology there, his work soon became an exciting blend of art, history and science wrapped in adventure. Famed for inspiring city kids and adults to pursue their destiny, Sereno argues that we can never fully grasp our "hidden genius" in one lifetime.

High school students and college kids often wonder what it is like to be a scientist or paleontologist, how to become one, and whether it would be a good life goal? Here are some answers, based on a life that has seen career shifts from artist to scientist and back in between.

Paul Sereno's expertise often makes him a great fit for healthcare groups. If you'd like to know how he could be a fit for your group, please ask us.

Here is an engaging, image-supported Q & A session that drives kids crazy.

Dinosaur Science
Follow the spectacular journey of an explorer who has discovered dinosaurs on five continents. Meet sail-backed meat-eaters, toothy fern-mowers, weird crocs and soaring pterosaurs, as Sereno paints a vivid picture of the extinct castaways he has unearthed on drifting continents.

Adventure
Fossil obsessions and a taste for adventure carry Sereno to the remote corners of the world to discover dozens of new species under the harshest conditions. Join Sereno as he shares the everyday life of a dinosaur hunter--crossing the Sahara and challenged by bandits, on the Tibetan plateau, in the heart of the Gobi.
