Dinosaur Convention Bans All Paleontologists Named in Epstein Files Out of Safety of Our Attendees
We find it deplorable that some established palaeontological organizations are not taking firm action, DinoCons statement reads
DinoCon, a U.K.-based paleontology convention, issued a statement regarding the scientists, authors and researchers named in the Epstein Files, noting those associated with the late sex offender were officially banned from the annual event.
While the conventions statement did not name the individuals directly, the Monday announcement made it clear that DinoCon would not tolerate their presence at the July event.
We at DinoCon take the safety of our attendees, speakers and staff very seriously, the conventions statement on X noted. As a result of the release of half of the Epstein files, it has come to light that a select number of scientists, authors and researchers relevant to the field of paleontology allegedly engaged in correspondence with members of the Epstein organization after the convictions of Jeffrey Epstein. We want to state that all respective individuals are banned from all our events.
The note continued: Additionally, we find it deplorable that some established palaeontological organizations are not taking firm action to protect their members in light of these allegations. As such, executive committee members from organizations that are not issuing public bans to these individuals are also banned from our events. We do not tolerate those who allow this behavior to go unchallenged within our community.
