Guests of Honor
Riley Black
The award-winning author of The Last Days of the Dinosaurs, When the Earth Was Green, and many other fossiliferous books. Her writing's appeared in a variety of publications such as National Geographic, Smithsonian, Slate, and many more, and she's been a repeat guest on programs such as Science Friday, All Things Considered, and NOVA. When not writing about fossils, Riley joins university and museum teams each summer to explore fossil sites across the west. Even her fursona is inspired by the fossil record, as giant jaguars used to roam more widely across the world during the last Ice Age.
