==Background==
[[File:Utah Museum of Natural History - IMG 1784.JPG|thumb|right|[[Natural History Museum of Utah|Utah Museum of Natural History]] where Sampson has been a curator since 1999. As seen in the photograph these former exhibits were dismantled in 2011 when the museum moved to the new Rio Tinto Center and changed name to Natural History Museum of Utah.]]
Sampson is featured as "Dr. Scott the paleontologist" on the [[Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]] television series, ''[[Dinosaur Train]]''. In this television series he mentions he gave ''Masiakasaurus'' its name and also mentions on a separate episode of The Dinosaur Train that he participated in naming ''[[Kosmoceratops]]''. In 2003 he hosted ''[[Dinosaur Planet (TV series)|Dinosaur Planet]]'', a series of four animated nature documentaries which aired on the [[Discovery Channel]].<ref name="edge">{{cite web|url=http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/sampson05/sampson05_index.html|title=The Real Crisis in Evolution Teaching|publisher=Edge|date=September 29, 2005|accessdate=May 26, 2010}}</ref> The series was narrated by [[Christian Slater]].

==Research==
Aside from his research conducted in museums, Sampson has undertaken paleontological fieldwork in countries such as [[Zimbabwe]],
[[File:Majungasaurus BW.jpg|thumb|left|''[[Majungasaurus]]''. Sampson has studied fossils of
In 1998 he conducted thorough paleontological studies into the Cretaceous period in Madagascar and published several papers on it. These include ''Predatory dinosaur remains from Madagascar: Implications for the Cretaceous biogeography of Gondwana.'' and ''The theropodan ancestry of birds: New evidence from the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar'', both published in 1998. In 2001 he returned to Madagascar and conducted some important research into the evolution of Gondwanan theropods, publishing a paper on it, entitled ''A bizarre predatory dinosaur from Madagascar: implications for the evolution of Gondwanan theropods''. In 2007 he published ''Dental morphology and variation in Majungasaurus crenatissimus (Theropoda: Abelisauridae) from the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar''.<ref name=smith2007/>
Line 57 ⟶ 58:
{{quotation|"The web of life is composed of two distinctly different kinds of threads‹those that link organisms at any given moment in time through the flow of energy (ecology), and those that link all lifeforms through deep time via genetic information and shared common ancestry (evolution). Seen from this dual and complementary perspective, the two themes are inseparable. Without evolution, our vision is severely limited to the present day and we cannot begin to fathom the blossoming of life's diversity from single-celled forebears. Without ecology, the intricate interconnections we share with the current panoply of lifeforms cannot truly be envisioned. United in a single theme, evolution and ecology provide a powerful lens through which to view life's web, forming the foundation of an integrated and underutilized perspective on nature. In short, we need dramatic increases in levels of both ecological literacy, or "ecoliteracy," and evolutionary literacy, or "evoliteracy," with this dynamic pair of concepts reinforcing each other."<ref name="edge"/>}}
