More Thanks than there are Dinos in the Ground

“I'm so thankful for BBPI for providing the opportunity for people to come and learn what it is we do, and then actually be able to do it. It's such an amazing opportunity that most people would never get to experience, and we get to spread that joy!”

Ashley, Assistant Crew Chief

“I’m thankful for the BBPI because it has introduced me to such a welcoming and diverse group of people, and it has given me the opportunity to pursue a career doing what I absolutely love—exploring, science, and dinos. And, of course, a big thank you to the dinosaurs that make it all possible!”

Grace, Field Assistant

“I’m thankful for our many supporters - donors, members, and citizen-scientist field partners - for helping to make it possible to provide opportunities for students, scientists, and the thousands of kids we inspire each year through our outreach and education programs.” 

Jason S., Executive Director

“I'm thankful to live in a world where I never have to stop learning new things thanks to science. Also, I'm thankful dinosaurs still exist so I can enjoy my Thanksgiving turkey.”

Timshel, Board Member 

“Before finding BBPI, I had given up hope that a “non-science-y” person could have anything to do with dinosaurs. Now, I get to be part of an organization that defies exclusionary boundaries and invites anyone who has a passion for learning and adventure to be a part of real scientific discovery! I couldn’t be more thankful for that.”

Devon, Director of Development 

“I am thankful for the BBPI giving me my first experience in paleontological fieldwork all those years ago. The BBPI quickly confirmed my passion for the field and helped me to pursue a career in paleo where I get to live out my childhood dream every day!”

Laura, Logistic Coordinator 

“I’m thankful for dinosaurs, science, and BBPI for making my paleo dreams come true.”

Hannah, Board Member

“I’m thankful for the opportunity to spend my summers with the Bighorn Basin Paleontological Institute in beautiful Montana doing what I love and sharing the experience with our expedition participants.”

Rick, Director of Educational Programming

We're so thankful for all of the people who make our mission possible and help us inspire a love of science and the earth.

Wishing you and your family a happy Thanksgiving!
