My advice for #2025SVP would be aimed not to students, who are excellent in our society and I am sure will do great but on senior academics. During Q&A, please resist the urge to grandstand or grill. Be polite, constructive, and supportive. That’s how we build a stronger, kinder community. #SVP2025

The #DorsetMuseum is really great. They have original notebooks from Mary Anning and several famous holotypes from the area out for people to see.

🚨Another new paper alert!! 🚨 We present the first histological analysis of an ornithocheirid pterosaur tooth from Brazil’s Crato Formation, revealing exceptionally rapid tooth growth and thin enamel adapted for efficient replacement. anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

I can corroborate that is a great place to work at.

Did you know. That the meme-explosion that was the wooden model of Sacabambaspis (an Ordovician jawless fish) held at a Museum in Helsinki, was created by a pioneering Estonian fish paleontologist and palaeoartist, Elga Mark-Kurik. 🧵

Old colour footage of the Dinos is quite rare, and also an important asset. This film was made during one of the “Iguanodons look they have goggly eyes due to excessive white paint” periods..

#dailyart 67 : study

Probably the best anurognathus model I've seen so far (Shenzen Dinosaur Museum)!

Huge sections dedicated to 🌿palaeobotany🌿 love to see it

When people say "There weren't many women in palaeontology/palaeoart in the 19 & 20th century" they pretend that women in the Central & East Europe did not exist, despite ladies ruling the show in that corner of the world for a century.

Ptero-line-up

The name Bakiribu waridza derives from Kariri words: bakiribú (“comb”) and waridzá (“mouth”), referring to the animal’s comb-like dentition. The name also honors the Indigenous peoples native to the Araripe region, Brazil. 🎨 by @lacerdajulio.bsky.social

New filter-feeding pterosaur dropped and it was found in dinosaur vomit!

Flamingo-like pterosaur holotype discovered in fossilised vomit 🤮

🔎 The Geopark and our partners are looking for 2 researchers to join exciting projects, funded by the Collaboratory Research Hub: 🌳 PhD on nature & wellbeing 🦖 Research Placement on public understanding of fossils 🌐 Deadline approaching! More info here: www.charnwoodforest.org/collaborator...

By "Slavic melancholy" I mean this vibe

Can't explain why, this artwork has "slavic melancholy" quality to it.

Waaah!!!!

#EntSoc25 Are you neurodivergent (ND), care about someone who is ND, and/or employ ND folks? If so, we invite you to our workshop "Diverg-Ent" on Tuesday from 2-6p! We have EntSoc member panelists of many neurotypes and want to hear from you, and hope to make Entomology a safe science for diversity!

Treetop meeting~ . Been experimenting with trying to combine my lineart style with this older more abstract painterly style I used to use more. This is also a new print that will be available in my shop soon!

Not to get real on main but as time goes on I feel how all the stress, exhaustion and this numb feeling is catching up with me after living through an active war for, what, like almost 4 years already? I am genuinely impressed that I can still maintain a positive attitude a lot of the times(...) 1/7

Draft to final

There's a lady on tiktok calling up random churches to see if they'd help her feed her (not real) starving baby. And like... most of them say no, try to redirect her to a foodbank or something instead. In one video though, she called an Islamic center and the guy said yes like immediately.

"The discovery of juvenile shells within adult Sinotaia quadrata—only the second fossil evidence of viviparity among viviparids worldwide—provides rare insight into ancient reproductive strategies." TIL some snails give birth???

“Fascism is the attempt by the imperialist bourgeoisie to solidify its rule on the basis of popular…support for counter-revolutionary dictatorship. Ideologically fascism is the relative admixture of authoritarianism, racism, militarism & pseudo-socialism necessary to make this bid successful.”
