My poster on #Twitch paleontology livestreams is now up at #2025SVP!
Come find me upstairs to talk about how YOU can live stream your fieldwork to audiences around the world (and supercharge your outreach and fundraising in the process). If I can do it, you can too ๐ช๐ฝ
Scarcely have I arrived at the airport that I ran into two other paleontologists on their way to #SVP2025
At the risk of sounding goofy, this almost feels like a religious pilgrimmage. I'm stoked
It's only open through January 11 (which I find surprising for so stellar an exhibition). Make sure you visit before then if you're in the area!

It's not often you see a paleontology exhibit in an art museum, but was thoroughly impressed with the clever presentation โ especially the life-sized giant ichthyosaurs projected across the back wall. Mesmerizing.

Photo of a HUGE ichthyosaur skull. It's sitting on some sand on the floor, with a particleboard barrier behind it โ simple and low-cost display infrastructure, but it really works well in this exhibit
Happy #FossilFriday! Here's an *enormous* ichthyosaur skull from the Triassic of Nevada, USA. This one might be a new species?
I was lucky enough to see this at an awesome temporary ichthyosaur exhibit at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno a couple months ago. Highly recommended
THE CARD SAYS "MOOPS"!

Despite incomplete knowledge, the fossil record is amazing. It's a disturbingly easy thought experiment to imagine living in a world where there's no such thing and we would never know about the existence of trilobites or ichthyosaurs. We're so lucky

Of course, one of my favorite parts of TwitchCon was walking around with my Velociraptor
Velia is life-sized and paleontologically accurate in every way I could make her โ and she made quite the impression on TwitchCon attendees.
How's that for some #SciComm?
