The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University has recently named Kenneth Lacovara as its paleontology fellow.

Lacovara, a professor of paleontology and geology at Drexel University, discovered a new gigantic dinosaur species in September. It was named Dreadnoughtus schrani.

In his new position, Lacovara will promote paleontology research and education to museum visitors, members and stakeholders by developing and implementing exhibits, museum programming and outreach.

“Dinosaur paleontology began in the United States at the Academy of Natural Sciences. It’s great to be part of that rich legacy,” Lacovara said in a statement. “I hope to use the near universal fascination with dinosaurs as a way to engage the public in the process of science and to help contextualize the human experience on our planet.”
