He has written several books for kids and the general public, including the coffee table book Dinosaurs (Quercus 2008) and the Walking With Dinosaurs Encyclopedia (HarperCollins, 2013), and more recently the adult pop science books The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs (2018, a Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller) and The Rise and Reign of the Mammals (2022).
He presents science videos for BBC's Earth Unplugged YouTube channel and is a frequent guest on radio and television programs. He was a paleontology consultant on the 2022 blockbuster film Jurassic World: Dominion, consultant on the blockbuster motion picture Walking With Dinosaurs 3D (2013), and is a "resident palaeontologist" for the BBC's Walking With Dinosaurs program.
