Will there be a y videos of the panels there? Would be amazing for those of us who can't attend.

To this day, I still have to stop and think before I type. I once confused Darren Naish because I mixed them up. #prehistoricplanet #prehistorickingdom

Brave warrior died with his trusty steed in battle.

You'd think "pterosaurs" & "kink-shaming" are two things that couldn't go hand-in-hand, and yet, a homoerotic scandal between two intellectual equals led to the discovery of the first pterosaur. Buckle in for some Crazy Rich Prussians & their unlikely connection to the discovery of pterosaurs 🧵

Via a footnote in a bureaucratic document that hardly anybody would read.

But people noticed, and spoke up, and even MAGA had to walk back something this atrocious.
