Dr. Brian Curtice
Dr. Brian Curtice, known to many simply as Dr. BC, has a gift for making the ancient world feel both accessible and astonishing. A paleontologist, researcher, and science communicator, he brings a rare combination of deep technical expertise and genuine enthusiasm to every Dinosaur Trips adventure he leads.
Equally comfortable discussing the fine anatomical details of a sauropodomorph vertebra or explaining exactly why those details matter, Dr. BC has a talent for translating complex paleontology into stories that spark curiosity and wonder. Whether you arrive with a lifetime of dinosaur knowledge or simply a fascination with prehistory, his engaging approach makes the science feel immediate, tangible, and alive.
But Dr. BC’s work extends well beyond classrooms and lecture halls. His passion for paleontology has taken him deep into museum collections, research institutions, and private archives, searching through drawers of fossils and studying specimens rarely seen by the public.
Through collaborations with paleontologists and researchers across the field, he remains closely connected to the ongoing discoveries reshaping our understanding of prehistoric life.As the founder of Fossil Crates, Dr. BC has also helped bring the prehistoric world into homes, classrooms, and collections through scientifically accurate fossil casts that make ancient life more accessible to a wider audience.On Dinosaur Trips journeys, Dr. BC helps transform paleontology from something observed behind museum glass into something immersive and experiential. Through field exploration, storytelling, and hands-on interpretation, he invites travellers into the unfolding story of prehistory and the discoveries still waiting to be uncovered.
