Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates interview series. I'm your host, Paul Vogelzang, and today we're diving deep into the lost world of dinosaurs—those awe-inspiring giants that have captured our imaginations for generations.

While we all know about T. rex's mighty roar or the towering neck of the Brachiosaurus, how much do we really know about how they lived? That's where our guest comes in. SMITHSONIAN ASSOCIATE Dr. David Hone is one of today's leading paleontologists, known for his groundbreaking work on dinosaur behavior. His new book, Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior: What They Did and How We Know, is a thrilling exploration of how these creatures lived, communicated, and even raised their young.

Smithsonian Associate, Dr. David Hone will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up. Check out notes here via the links for more information. Dr. Hone is here to break down the latest discoveries and reveal how paleontologists use everything from fossils to living animal behavior to make educated guesses about these long-extinct giants. We'll hear about everything from dinosaur signals and combat to their surprising colors and social habits—insights that challenge what we thought we knew.

Get ready for an exciting conversation that blends ancient mysteries with modern science. Whether you're a lifelong dino fan or just curious about the prehistoric past, today's episode will be a treat.

Dr. Hone, welcome to the show!
