@indosuchus.bsky.social
Palaeobiologist. MSCA Postdoctoral Fellow @University of Birmingham. My research covers Taphonomy, Dinosaur Colour, and Evolution of flight. Now developing AI deep learning pipelines to automate 3D segmentation of CT-scanned fossils.
🚨 Save #Geology & #Paleobiology at Leicester Uni! 🚨
@uniofleicester.bsky.social bosses plan to dissolve the #EarthSciences dept. & entirely AXE the Centre for Palaeobiology & Biosphere Evolution & ALL of its academic staff.

If you’re coming to the #2025SVP Welcome Reception tonight then look for the Eye of Sauron.

Watson’s record on eugenics, racism, misogyny, and anti-LGBTQ+ views is indefensible. His discovery reshaped biology, but his prejudices remind us how power and privilege have long influenced who are celebrated as a “geniuses”.

When I began my BSc-MSc in #Biotech, James Watson—of the Nobel-winning duo “Watson & Crick”—was impossible to avoid. His name is woven into the DNA of modern science. But the deeper you look, the harder it becomes to separate his scientific legacy from his worldview. #ScienceHistory #UKAcademia

Science doesn’t exist in a moral vacuum. We CAN and SHOULD recognise discovery WITHOUT excusing discrimination. True excellence isn’t just about intellectual achievement, but also about ethical conduct, inclusivity, and respect. [3/3]

Something fishy!
I had the privilege of creating a number of illustrations for this new exhibition under the expert guidance of @nitroshutter.bsky.social and his colleagues at Birmingham University. It runs from November 12th to February 28th. I’ll be visiting, and hope you will too!
I've been meaning to transition from X to Bsky for a while now but I've finally made it.
