Matt Carrano and Barb Natterson-Horowitz Chat Dinosaurs

Matthew Carrano always wanted to be a paleontologist and is still somewhat amazed that he actually is one. He is currently the Curator of Dinosauria at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, where he studies dinosaur evolution and paleobiology. Most recently, he served as lead curator for the museum’s new paleontology exhibition, Deep Time, which opened in 2019. Matthew graduated from Brown University in 1991 with a B.S. in Geology-Biology, and earned his M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. Originally from Branford, Connecticut, he now lives in Washington, DC with his wife, Diana and son, Max.
