Learn how dinosaurs became what we know of as modern-day birds with Dr Fastovsky.

David E. Fastovsky, Ph.D., is Emeritus Professor in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Rhode Island, where he taught paleontology, evolutionary biology, and Earth history for 37 years. His interest in dinosaurs began very early when he read about fossil finds in the Gobi Desert; he has since carried out geological and paleontological fieldwork all over the world. He served as Science Editor, spanning 12 years of professional journals of the Geological Society of America, and is a Fellow of both the GSA and of the Paleontological Society.  Fastovsky specializes in the Mesozoic environments in which non-bird dinosaurs roamed, as well as on their ultimate extinction, and has published well over 100 professional papers on these and other related topics.
