Tito Aureliano Neto, or simply Tito Aureliano (Recife, December 28, 1989), is a Brazilian paleontologist, researcher, science communicator, and writer.
Biography Although born in Recife, Tito moved to Brasília as a child, with his parents and sister. During his childhood, he became interested in paleontology. He studied and worked at the University of Brasília, until he completed his degree in Geology at the Federal University of Pernambuco. He later earned a master's and doctorate in science from the State University of Campinas (Unicamp). He specializes in the study of fossilized tissues and his doctoral research was a study of the evolution of the dinosaur respiratory system through paleohistology.
Science communication and Colecionadores de Ossos In January 2010, he joined the blog created by scientist Aline Ghilardi Colecionadores de Ossos (Bone Collectors), focused on science outreach about paleontology. The blog became a YouTube channel in 2014 and has established itself as one of the main productions of its subject in Brazil. The YouTube channel evolved into the world's largest Paleontology and Geosciences channel carried out independently by experts in the area, offering direct dialogue between audience and active researchers. The initiative produces literary, audiovisual, and gaming material with more than 200 works distributed in over 40 countries. In 2015, Tito released the book Dino Hazard: Hidden Reality, a fictional story that also got Spanish and English versions and a prequel as a role-playing video game.
