Introducing Spinosaurus mirabilis, a new species of Spinosaurus found in the heart of Niger on our 2022 expedition. It sports a long crest on its head and was found in a basin environment near a river system 500-1000km from the nearest prehistoric marine shore. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Check out this timelapse I made while giving an Edmontosaurus a pedicure! One small part of the story out today in Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Two new Edmontosaurus skeletons with preserved skin just got published by Paul Sereno and collegues. They had a fleshy scaly crest over their back and hoofed feet! I was lucky enough to see the specimens last summer. The publication is open access: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Nice write-up and video! biologicalsciences.uchicago.edu/news/dinosau...

Two New Dinosaur Fossils Emerge From the ‘Mummy Zone’ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/s...

Just in time for spooky season: DINOSAUR "MUMMIES!" Unlike Egyptian mummies, these don't have squishy bits preserved, but the rock around these carcasses had clay capturing texture of scales, a midline crest w/ keratin spikes, &, brand new, feet w/ hooves! 🧪⚒️🦕🦖 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This was such a cool project to be a part of! I contributed scanning & rendering 3d anatomical models of some specimens, but this international team led by @gayani.bsky.social & @tdcapellini.bsky.social combined many methods to reveal how exactly humans evolved to walk upright on two legs. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ 🧪⚒️

Say hello to Florida's newest established species, Typhlonectes natans - the Rio Cauca Caecilian! You can read about their relative abundance, distribution, & natural history, in our brand new paper: journals.ku.edu/reptilesanda... Here is one individual I CT scanned that had 7 babies inside!

This budget proposal will make your life worse. Call your elected officials and oppose it.

What can we learn about dinosaur physiology? 200 years after the 1st dino was named, new technologies yield amazing data from fossils. Physiology is vast, we hit on a few topics & gave ideas for improving hypotheses regarding how dino bodies may have worked. 🌡❤️🫁🦕🦖🧪⚒️🪶 doi.org/10.1098/rsbl...

Really important review of dinosaur physiology out today led by @stephanopteryx.bsky.social & @paleofox.bsky.social w/ Jason Bourke & ‪‪@rockjock80.bsky.social‬‬: bit.ly/43I1gxJ. Cool to see this old ankylosaur friend as Figure 1, from a collab w/ former PhD students Jason Bourke & Ruger Porter.

New #OpenAccess dinosaur physiology paper out as part of the Bio Letters theme issue on 200 years of dinosaurs! 🥳 Led by Stephanie Baumgart 🦖🦕🫁🫀🧠 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Wooo! This will officially be my first post on this app. 🥳Linked below is a new paper lead by my colleague @stephanopteryx.bsky.social ! I am so happy to share this with everyone - see post below for more details!

Researchers at MIT turned a skin cell into a neuron without having to go through that pesky intermediate stem cell step. Truly incredible. news.mit.edu/2025/mit-eng...

Hey Bluesky! @sicb.bsky.social 's Divisions of Comparative Biomechanics and Vertebrate Morphology are here! We're here to share any position opportunities and keep you updated on DCB and DVM activities. Give us a follow and feel free to send any postings our way.

Help our friends at the NSF: Seeking scientists based in California who are willing to attest to direct harm caused by NSF firings. If you’re in the science world, please RT this to widen the net— a lawsuit on the unjust mass firings needs these comments. (comment briefly here and I’ll follow up!)

Today, a broad coalition of scientific professional societies who represent over 92,000 scientists are speaking out against the politicization and demonization of Federally funded science and government scientist jobs. It was an honor to help the Union of Concerned Scientists with this! 🧪🌎

I wrote (ranted) on experimental design as I was frustrated as an editor at how little guidance students were getting. I underestimated the interest in the issue: it has been downloaded 10,000+ times! Clearly it’s something we need to be talking about more. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Pinning the EcoEvo job board so I’ll no longer have a reason to revisit the blue bird website. 🚨📌 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

not sure why the extinction of this little bird in particular hits me so hard maybe because they were still whirling across the sky when I was born? regardless, I thought I'd give it a go to (badly) illustrate the slender-billed curlew as it would have been in life on the Kazakh steppe.

Excellent reference for new folks! “Starter Packs” are an efficient way to find your communities. You can also request to be added- just reach out the organizer. And… yep, you’ll probably fit on several lists! It’s wonderful 🌎🧪🌊⚒️

One of my favorite CT scans I helped make for #oVertTCN: a 5-day-old loggerhead shrike ate a tiny lizard! 🪶🧪🦎 How can we tell it's a lizard? Tail vertebrae in reptiles have chevrons for muscle attachment. Mammal tail bones don't have those. CT scan available: www.morphosource.org/concern/medi...
