My name is Charles Frederico, and I am from Southern California and Montana.

I grew up reading and exploring the world around me. For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved science, especially paleontology, geology, and wildlife biology. I double majored in biology and geoscience in college, and was involved in wildlife biology research. My major interests include the biology and evolution of archosaurs and how environmental conditions influence evolutionary patterns. I am currently involved in research projects describing dinosaur fossils found in Wyoming and volunteering at Dr. Melissa Kemp’s lab.

When not studying, I am hiking, reading philosophy, and creating art.
