Any tree disease experts able to ID what killed this tree?
(I’m assuming it’s something to do with these gashes)

(There was another dead tree with little round nodules along its trunk, I didn’t get pictures of it but same question!)

Watch @oliviablakemp.bsky.social’s brutal takedown of driven grouse shooting in just 90 seconds from last weeks debate in Parliament.

No fair enough, Archosauria is a very good one lol

I’d recommend Xenarthra next :)

Oh crap I’m sorry 😭 I saw the reposts and thought it was a chain with diff people at first

Paenungulata is a spectrum

Farage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied

I can't believe any Democrat would THINK of allying with Elon Musk.

I won't take money from the guy who does a Hitler salute. It's really that simple.

Depends. At the canines, maybe stronger. At the postcanines/molar level, probably weaker (in effect).

Dire wolf portraits.

Triassic croc-line archosaur Prestosuchus with open mouth.

Cretaceous coelurosaur Aratasaurus of Brazil.

A brightly coloured tapejarid pterosaur in bright sunlight.

#ArtBoost is for Juan Nobre, palaeoartist based - I believe - in Brazil. Is creating wonderful and complex portraits of prehistoric animals of many sorts, often in beautifully rendered environments. Not sure if is on BSky - will tag if I find him :) #paleoart #palaeoart

Ville's art here is outstanding as always!

A digital drawing of an American avocet viewed from the back. The photo of the bird is on the left of the frame while the drawing is on the right.

Had a great time teaching my second of 5 classes of my Drawing Shorebirds in Colour course. Everyone had a lot of fun drawing this avocet this evening. 🌿🪶 #SciArt

A painting of a portrait of the palaeontologist Mary Anning. She is wearing a long, tiered dark dress, a bonnet and a red scarf. She’s holding a wicker basket around her elbow and a hold a hammer in her hand. Her other hand points to a small dog on the ground.

We couldn’t end #WomensHistoryMonth without shining light on one of history’s most prominent palaeontologists, Mary Anning!

Let’s take a look at her incredible life and the discoveries she made, including some of the specimens you can see today in the Museum! 🔍 🦴

Reconstruction of Duonychus standing next to the silhouette of a ca. 1.8 m tall human

I had to reconstruct the new two-fingered therizinosaur Duonychus published yesterday

I have been working on various Therizinosaurus for a current commission that I cannot talk much about so I felt I had to reconstruct this taxon as soon as I saw it

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

Some zooms from my 2022 painting of a #Thescelosaurus amidst the #Tanis devastation caused by the end Cretaceous #Chicxulub asteroid impact. Also features are #Triceratops and #Quetzalcoatlus.

An illustration of a big round dugong floating under the water.

Any Dugong fans? These absolute units have a diet consisting of mainly sea grass, they can eat up to 30 kilograms a day.

Teen Warned Not To Accept Group Chat Invites From National Security Advisors She Doesn’t Know

Update: after battling with RStudio for hours using apparently conflicting plot functions, I’ve achieved a migraine.

I’m retreating to manually doing things in PowerPoint

I wish I could say the same but I can see great pain in my future… 😫

Studying time

I get the feeling that, aside from getting funding and justifying your research, the biggest hurdle to science is getting RStudio to INCLUDE THAT FIGURE LEGEND YOU NEED

Controversial take but I just don't think we should invest a ton of money in space travel until we take care of our own planet. There's this dangerous idea that we can destroy our home because eventually we'll colonize other planets and frankly? We won't live long enough to do that at this rate.

Science aside. 🧪🦑

The thing that really bugs me about AI images is that REAL IMAGES OF CORAL REEFS EXIST.

WHY NOT USE REAL IMAGES INSTEAD OF AI GENERATED GLOSSY UGLY IMAGES THE BURN AN UNREAL AMOUNT OF CARBON EMISSIONS DURING THE PROCESS
