Speakers

GoGoMrDoDo

GoGoMrDoDo is a digital artist and animator who creates expressive, character-driven paleoart and prehistoric-themed comics that blend scientific fascination with imaginative, stylized storytelling.

The Dinosaur Skeleton Team

Dinosaur Skeletons is a specialist studio founded by a professional paleoartist that creates scientifically accurate, museum-quality replicas and bespoke reconstructions of prehistoric specimens for museums, collectors, and institutions worldwide.

Dr. Brian Curtice

Known as “Dr. BC,” is a paleontologist and the founder of Fossil Crates, a platform that brings fossil discoveries to enthusiasts. He has contributed to discussions on dinosaur discoveries, including analyzing Supersaurus bones to discuss the title of the longest dinosaur. Dr. Curtice also shares his insights on paleontology through Q&A sessions, such as “Dino-mite Job: Working with Dinosaurs,” where he delves into his experiences in the field.

Dr. Jake Kotevski

Jake recently submitted his PhD thesis on Australian theropods and the earliest known megaraptorids through Monash University and Museums Victoria. Jake is from the Jurassic Park generation, and has always been fascinated with predatory theropods. He has conducted fieldwork all across eastern Australia, and his work identified the very first known carcharodontosaurians from Down Under. His major research interest is the early evolution and distribution of Megaraptoridae, and their success across Australia and South America.

Skye Walker

Skye, known as “The Dinomancer,” is a passionate field paleontologist and science communicator for Elevation Science, dedicated to making the study of diverse fossils, from dinosaurs to ammonites, accessible and fun to all through her background in geology, expertise in fossil excavation and museum operations, and unique ability to document fieldwork in real time, creating engaging media content and educational programs while also serving as an associate producer for the film WHY DINOSAURS?!

Colin Boisvert

Colin Boisvert is a PhD paleontology student working with Eric Snively at the Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences. He has loved paleontology since he was a young kid and studies sauropods and theropods with colleagues( especially allosauroids)! He is intrigued by different topics, relating to the transition of dinosaur fauna between the Jurassic and Cretaceous, the Mid Cretaceous Sauropod Hiatus, and the extinction of allosauroids during the Cretaceous Thermal Maximum.

Noel Ouellette

Noel is an avocational paleontologist, paleoartist and science communicator from New Hampshire, USA. Noel enjoys sharing his passion for ancient life with people of all ages, at locations including school classrooms, public libraries, science centers and local bars. The topics in paleontology Noel finds most interesting include faunal turnover, evidence for dinosaur diets, paleobiogeography and the ecosystem diversity represented at microsite localities.

Jonas Cruz

Eighteen-year-old paleontology researcher Jonas Cruz is a two-time published lead author specializing in dinosaur soft tissue, insect scavenging, and taphonomy through advanced microscopy. His original research, which includes work in the Journal of Microscopy and Microanalysis, documents unique preserved materials within Cretaceous Triceratops, Edmontosaurus, and Nanotyrannus remains. Building on three years of field experience in Montana, he leads microanalysis research and hands-on laboratory programs dedicated to making active science accessible through public outreach.
