Dr. Scott Sampson – Dinosaur Paleontologist and Vice President of Research & Collections and Chief Curator at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science

Dr. Scott Sampson fell in love with dinosaurs at the age of four. He was able to spell the word “paleontology” before he was able to spell his last name. Since then, Dr. Scott has built a career on researching and studying ancient life and sharing his love of dinosaurs with audiences of all ages. He currently serves as Vice President of Research and Collections and Chief Curator at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, and as host and science advisor for the PBS KIDS television series Dinosaur Train. Sampson is also Program Ambassador of Nature Rocks, a global initiative of The Nature Conservancy aimed at inspiring families to explore nature.
