After a 3-month hiatus, thread number 3! Band of Brothers is the third episode of WWD2025, and focuses on the coming-of-age story of George the teenage Gastonia as he is pursued by Utahraptor, framed around the Lorrie’s site quarry in the Cedar Mountain Formation. (1/40)

What's your sign?

New article by me on the very impressive new megaraptoran Joaquinraptor (title typo not mine!) ... www.discoverwildlife.com/dinosaurs/jo... #dinosaurs #fossils #theropods

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

I'm blogging again, because sometimes I just want to write about what I want to write about. The latest is on a very spiky dinosaur and why dinosaurs are always going to be stranger than our expectations.

🐘?

Our new book, THE SECRET LIVES OF DINOSAURS, is out today! Written by Dr Dean Lomax & 49 full-colour illustrations from me – you can buy it on Amazon or from the publisher (link in bio). The fossils in this book will blow your mind! #SciArt #SciComm #PaleoArt #Dinosaurs #WildlifeArt #JurassicWorld

I don’t think I’ve ever seen America so embarrassed in front of the entire world.

“When we spoke to executives, they would often say the internal tool was very successful (...) But when we spoke to employees, we found zero usage.”

jetzt gleich ab 13 uhr in #ö1 punkt eins mit @melaniepichler.bsky.social und @petermock.bsky.social: ist die grüne transformation die zerstörung der europäischen autobranche - oder ihre einzige rettung?

Jeri Taylor was remembered in the In Memorium tribute of this evening's Emmy Awards.

Here's a thread of relaxing fun websites to get away from the noise 1. This is sand dot com Let the sand flow and create weird little landscapes (this is one I did) thisissand.com

As we're all taught, you can (usually) only directly date the age of a rock if it cooled from lava. But here, scientists have dated dinosaur eggs, using uranium-lead ratios in the calcite. Hugely exciting, maybe groundbreaking. My take @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

Happy Star Trek Day.

Early morning Mount Fuji. I love the twilight light from the opposite direction of a sunrise, especially with mountains. This was late autumn season, when I saw lots of autumn leaves at the bottom of the lake. Taken with a CPL to make them visible.

Pluto was named by an 11-year-old girl. In 1930, Venetia Burney of Oxford, England, suggested to her grandfather that the new discovery be named for the Roman god of the underworld. He forwarded the name to the Lowell Observatory and it was selected.

I’m proud and over the moon to share the news that I’m a finalist in the Wildlife category of NZ Geographic Photographer of the Year 2025. This is the big kahuna for Aotearoa wildlife photographers and a major goal I’ve been chasing for a long time. To achieve it is exceptionally special to me. 🪶🇳🇿

Sand batteries are literally just silos of sand that retain heat exceptionally well -- so well that they can be tied to heat exchange systems to serve as proxy *electrical* batteries. Finland's new model can store enough power (100 MWh) to heat an entire town for a week. newatlas.com/energy/large...

Watch Out!

The National Bonsai and Penjing Museum marks the 400th anniversary of the Yamaki Pine, an ancient tree that survived the 1945 bombing of Hiroshima and has since become a symbol of peace.

me too! phase 2 is probably my favorite piece of star trek lore. the direction the franchise could have taken, its traces in tmp and tng, and also i just love the aesthetics.

There is no such thing as neutrality when it comes to documentary photography –it’s a myth. You always take sides, either consciously or subconsciously, and acknowledging that is essential if your work is to maintain any element of authenticity. There’s nothing worse than fake neutrality.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

what does this mean @nikolausf.substack.com? every post about it so far kinda just reads "boom"

“There is no joy more intense than that of coming upon a fact that cannot be understood in terms of currently accepted ideas." Astronomer Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, who decoded spectral lines to deduce the elemental composition of stars, was born #OTD in 1900. 🧪 🔭 ⚛️ 👩‍🔬 Image: Harvard Observatory

A little nugget of data from my new study that I think the theropod fans among my followers might find interesting... The body masses of some particularly big boys estimated using the "preferred isometric" modelling workflow, as outlined in the paper.

It was fun to be part of this project last year, and it's finally out... FYI, I am generally not scared of puzzles. www.arte.tv/de/videos/12...

wait 🤯

not a star wars guy but that is a beautiful description

The "Maul Street Journal." I love this even though no NY Dino News

To see why destroying the US science enterprise is so detrimental to the world, we have to realize that the US spends more on research and development than any other country in the world (by far), and if we remove China and Japan, the US spends almost as much as ALL other countries combined.
