Description

Jack Horner is a severely dyslexic, dinosaur paleontologist. He attended the University of Montana for 14 semesters without receiving a degree. He has since received two honorary doctorates of science and a plethora of awards including a MacArthur Fellowship. Jack was Curator and Regent’s Professor of Paleontology at Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana for 34 years. He has more than 300 publications. He was the technical advisor for all of the Jurassic Park/ Jurassic World movies. At Chapman University where he now teaches, Jack encourages his honors students and dyslexic mentorees to challenge their preconceived ideas.“First off meat-eating animals eat other animals. So, the meat-eating dinosaurs would be scary, but on the other hand, we should think of them more like an eagle or a hawk, rather than a Tyrannosaurus rex chasing jeeps around. The thing that Jurassic Park - and people didn't really realize it, but it's a Steven Spielberg thing. He makes animals that eat people, whether it be a shark or it be a dinosaur, these are animals that will break through a building just to eat a person rather than eat a Triceratops that's sick out laying out in the field.If you remember Jurassic Park, there was a Triceratops out there that was sick, and it was just laying out there and nothing was eating it. But the dinosaurs, when they got loose, they were just chasing people around. We see one scene where a T-Rex takes down another dinosaur, but for the most part, they're just chasing people. And so, the general public's notion of dinosaurs is  that's how they would be.”https://jackhornersdinosaurs.comHorner Science Groupwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.org
