If you weren’t already aware, on the 6th and 7th of Dec in Strasbourg, France, Dinoël is returning. This amazing event is similar to DinoCon in its objectives and a wonderful opportunity to explore the creative side of palaeontology through palaeo-art and workshops.

There are so many people I’d like to mention by name, but I’m terrified of forgetting someone. But some are simply too important not to mention, so I’ll begin with them (1/n)

A screenshot taken of Wplace, a website that permits users to draw pixel art on a map of the world. The logo of DinoCon is shown drawn over the city of Exeter, where the event takes place.
By the way, @dinoconuk.bsky.social is currently represented on Wplace! (H/t @eriorguez.bsky.social for the heads-up.) #DinoConUK

MASSIVE thank you to the amazing organisers, speakers, artists, stall holders and fellow attendees at @dinoconuk.bsky.social! It has been an amazing two days - my brain is at capacity! I have come away having learned lots, inspired to learn more, and generally in awe of the artworks. #dinoconUK

The first DinoCon @dinoconuk.bsky.social went off with a bang. A bunch of dinosaur/prehistoric life related talks, stalls and activities to keep the palaeonerd community out of mischief for a weekend. Thanks to everyone for making it enjoyable and hope to see you again next year!
