Gregory M. Erickson, Ph.D. in paleobiology at Florida State University.

Erickson has published many papers on the ontogeny and growth patterns of alligators and dinosaurs, especially on the theropod ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. Erickson has also been contributing when naming and describing some dinosaur genera, like ''Guanlong'' (2006) and ''Limusaurus'' (2009). He is a strong proponent to the idea of a dinosaurian origin of birds.

Erickson has been featured in BBC’s program ''The Truth About Killer Dinosaurs'', in which he estimates the bite force of ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. He was also featured in an episode of ''Science Of Sex Appeal'' (Discovery Channel), which discuss how dinosaurs reproduced.
