Curtis Bentley Co-Founder Scientist/Explorer Curtis is a lot of things: a scientist, lawyer, explorer, drummer and Ironman. His brain is always churning. His paleontological finds are in museums across the country and he even has an extinct sea turtle named after him. He loves traveling the world and immersing himself in new environments and cultures. Curtis finds joy in sparking the imagination of young learners and making them think in new ways. Curtis has authored six scientific publications in paleontology, worked for United States Department of Justice as a trial attorney in the Environmental Enforcement Section and later helped craft laws with the Maine Legislature to help protect critters and habitats. Throughout his career, he’s enjoyed sharing his passion for paleontology and science in both professional settings and elementary schools.
