The Secret Lives of Dinosaurs & The Adventures of a Palaeontologist


Join The Explorers Club on October 19th and unearth the real behaviors of prehistoric animals with British palaeontologist Dean Lomax!

Join acclaimed palaeontologist, author, and TV presenter Dr Dean Lomax on a fascinating journey through the grand cycle of life in deep time. Focusing on the direct evidence of astonishing behaviours in some of the world’s most extraordinary and unusual fossils, Lomax provides a glimpse into the real-world stories of prehistoric life, from fighting dinosaurs to mosasaur mealtimes and a two-headed fossil reptile. Along the way, Dr Lomax shares his adventures as a palaeontologist, including leading the excavation of the iconic “Rutland Sea Dragon”, the most complete skeleton of a large prehistoric reptile ever found in the UK, to discovering new species, presenting TV shows and much more.

– Based on Dr Lomax’s new book, endorsed by Slash from Guns N’ Roses as “Fantastic, engrossing & funny”, these unbelievable fossils challenge what we thought we knew about the prehistoric world. The talk will be followed by a Q&A and a book signing with the author.

A fourth grade teacher at the Howe-Manning School in Middleton, Massachusetts, Julie knows that the best ideas in a classroom rarely come from one person. Teachers sharing lessons, swapping questions, and building on each other’s strengths leads to great learning.

On the project Flag #69 expedition and field school, Julie is working shoulder to shoulder with archaeologists learning how a team surveys, records, and interprets a shipwreck one careful measurement at a time.

A 2025 Teaching Fellow, Miss Klipfel’s students followed every step of her Boiling River Expedition from home. In her mentorship year, she will bring her skills as an educational specialist while returning with new skills, new partners, and 750 year old shipwrecks to share with her class and fellow teachers.

The expedition is led by Trevor Wallace (Trevor J Wallace) in Ciutadella, where the project documents centuries of maritime history along Menorca’s coast.

Save the date – ECAD: Wayfinders – April 24, 2027

For over a century, ECAD weekend has been an annual pilgrimage for the intrepid few with the courage to push dragons off the map.

Next year, we’ll honor the oldest of all human arts.

Reading stars and swells, wind and birdsong, subtle signs by which our ancestors on every continent and every sea found their way across deserts, ice fields, and open oceans long before compass or chart.

Beyond the gala, join the “world’s largest gathering of overachievers” featuring a full weekend of events for dinner attendees, with symposiums highlighting our annual awardees, Grantees, EC50 laureates, Club flag carriers, and more.

Join The Explorers Club member and esteemed actor Joe Manganiello to celebrate the launch of Joe’s new memoir Bloodlines.

Joe Manganiello seemed to have it all: a soaring career, a new marriage, and what many considered, the best physique in Hollywood. Then, without warning, his body began to fail him. A cascade of autoimmune-related illnesses attacked his skin, thyroid, eyes, lungs, and digestive system, plunging him into a seven year battle, plagued by chronic pain, a life-saving organ amputation, existential crisis, and a prolonged fight for survival that left doctors with few answers and no clear explanation.

Actor Joe Manganiello’s gripping memoir of a previously undisclosed health ordeal—marked by multiple near-death experiences and medical crises—that led him beyond medicine and into a remarkable, globe-spanning quest that revealed answers about his ancestry, inherited trauma, and the deeper histories we carry. Manganiello writes with candor and hard-won clarity about illness, inheritance, masculinity, faith, ambition, and the identities we build to endure. More than a memoir of medical crisis, it is a searching account of what happens when the life you have constructed can no longer contain the truth of what you carry.

As Manganiello struggled to stay alive amidst medicine’s inability to fully explain what ailed him, an unorthodox path emerged—shamans, pagan rituals, ancient myths, long lost family records, and the rebirth of his own spirituality. A search that led him deep into his own bloodline: to a survivor of the Armenian genocide, to ancestors shaped by violence and displacement, and the hidden patterns shared by others living with chronic illness.

Deeply personal and emotionally expansive, Bloodlines considers how the past lives on in the body and in the stories, we tell about strength, survival, and selfhood. The result is both a page-turning, heart-pounding story for the ages and an essential meditation on inheritance, loss, and the work of living with what remains.

Burying beetles, bumble bees, butterflies, and more 🪲🐝🦋

Justin Grubb, EC50 Class of 2026, is studying things that fly, hop, and crawl to better understand some of Michigan’s most overlooked wildlife and how we can protect them.

As co-founder of the wildlife conservation nonprofit Sleeping Bear Wildlife Fund, Justin is working to help uncover the conservation needs of local species that have received little research attention in Michigan, including burying beetles, bumble bees, toads, and more. Though often overlooked, these species play essential roles in healthy ecosystems, from pollination and nutrient cycling to serving as indicators of ecosystem health.

The first step towards conservation is understanding what we have. By establishing baseline data on these species, Justin and his team are laying the groundwork for targeted conservation strategies and future recovery efforts.

“There’s something incredibly exciting about studying the wildlife we know so little about and discovering new opportunities to protect it. Sometimes, the smallest and most overlooked species hold the key to understanding the bigger picture of biodiversity conservation.” - Justin Grubb

Go behind the wave with Big Wave Surfers 🌊

Later this month, explorers around the world will gather in Coimbra for a day of campfire storytelling and breakthroughs in field science. Afterwards, some of those explorers will have the unprecedented opportunity to ride the back of the biggest waves in the world.

In Nazaré, surfers Andrew Cotton, Alex Botelho, and Hugo Vau will take daring explorers on jet skis to chase waves from a once-in-a-lifetime vantage point on the coast of Praia do Norte.
