I am Will Dunham and I am in Washington, D.C., where I cover a wide range of [science topics](https://www.reuters.com/authors/will-dunham/) for Reuters. We have recently hit the [200th anniversary of the first formal scientific recognition of a dinosaur](https://www.reuters.com/science/first-dinosaur-was-named-200-years-ago-we-know-so-much-more-now-2024-02-13/) — our toothy friend Megalosaurus — and there are many other developments in the field of dinosaur paleontology as well.
I have been a journalist in Washington since 1984 and at Reuters since 1994. I have covered science news for Reuters off and on since 2001 and I’m also an editor on the Reuters Global News Desk. On the science front, I have covered everything from voracious black holes to tiny neutrinos, the sprawling human genome to the oldest-known DNA, the evolution of our species to the field of space medicine, and of course all things relating to dinosaurs and other intriguing prehistoric creatures.
**Ask me anything and everything dinosaur-related and I will answer from 3-4 p.m. Eastern.**

What’s your favorite dinosaur, and why?
What difficulties do you have conveying the information you have in understandable ways? Do you ever feel you have to straddle the line between keeping people interested and over simplifying?
Are there interesting things you feel like you’ve had to leave out of stories for the sake of brevity or time you’d like to come back to? I understand if you can’t go into a ton of detail on each (but I won’t object…), but I’m curious about what they are, and why?
