A plastic pumpkin painted with a scene inspired by Over the Garden Wall. Greg and Wirt are walking down a spooky forest path and are surrounded by references to the series. There's a tree with creepy faces on the left, a big black dog with glowing eyes on the right, and a silhouette of the Beast in the distant foggy background. There are pumpkins with faces like those in Pottsfield on the path

BREAKING: A new experimental intranasal COVID-19 vaccine has shown remarkable results eliminating the virus in mice.

A single dose provided 60% protection, while two doses achieved 100% protection, completely blocking infection.

Just a fun picture of the juvenile T rex maxillae I helped excavated back during fieldwork with KU in 2017. The left maxilla has almost all the teeth still in their sockets!

Coolest part about the site was how it preserved the mega flora well enough for me to reconstruct the forest!

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress πŸ¦–

How to get the best night’s sleep: what the science says Chuck the gadgets, the fads and the alarm. Circadian research reveals how important your body’s internal clock is to blissful slumber.

Here's a great summary of #sleep and #circadian #research

www.nature.com/articles/d41...

β€” Bright daytime light exposure
β€” Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, supper like a peasant
β€” Consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends

My own: intense exercise in morning, stretching before bed

Latest Cretaceous megaraptorid theropod dinosaur sheds light on megaraptoran evolution and palaeobiology - Nature Communications Megaraptoran theropod dinosaur anatomy and evolution is unclear due to the fragmentary nature of most available fossils. Here the authors report a well-preserved, late surviving megaraptoran from Argentina that clarifies our understanding of the morphology of this group and potentially provides insights into its diet and feeding strategies.

New Rauhut et al. PalaeoE paper on Iberian spinosaurids is really interesting but odd that they only cite us (Barker et al. 2021) once, and only in connection with an anatomical trait.

What happened next is very funny:

Bluesky immediately caved to the fascist pushback and used the article from the Federalist as a list to decide who to ban.
