Media and Consulting

​Need a Paleontologist in the New York City, New Jersey, or Philadelphia area, and beyond? I give fun, accessible public talks!

 

I also consult on: paleontology, evolution, locomotion, biomechanics, creature design, and science fiction and fantasy biology concepts in film, TV, and video games. 

​

​​

​

I was a series consultant for both seasons of Apple TV+ and BBC's Prehistoric Planet.​ For season 2, I appeared in episode 4, Oceans, for the Prehistoric Planet: Uncovered segment at the end of the episode.

​

I consulted on and appeared in PBS NOVA's Ancient Earth, the episode "Inferno" (Episode link: https://www.pbs.org/video/ancient-earth-inferno-fsgozc/).

​

I also helped inform the design of a playable mosasaur in the video game  Path of Titans, by Alderon Games. ​​
