Starting to suspect Viccario wasn't the main problem...
You can't drop a line like that and not provide a link to a story!
And here's the one that's just for the Biological Sciences programs: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKbh...
We have made some really nice videos of academics talking about the @qmulsbbs.bsky.social at @qmul.bsky.social. Well worth a couple of minutes of your time. A certain palaeontologist may appear in there too.

Nice. Though it was an attempted Simpsons reference on my part which clearly failed to land.
How big is he?
This is magnificent.
I'd like to at least try and get through it alone before being forced to share.
Now that is impressive. And rather harder to defend!
I think "idiosyncratic" is a bit generous.
Has your height changed at all between papers? Could be a really fun one pager in the variation of Farke silhouettes.
Oh yes, they'd be fun to have back the next time we get some good flooding.
I have seen this and it is truly, monumentally, entertainingly, awful.
And tigers. :)
New episode of #TerribleLizards is out with @richardfallon.bsky.social talking about Crichton, Conan Doyle, and #dinosaurs in literature. terriblelizards.libsyn.com/tls12e02-1
"Fruit synchronicity" would have been an interesting Police album.
A perfectly reasonable response.
Yeah, he wrote to my university and told them they should withdraw my PhD. My crime was suggesting that rather than argue with me in the comments on my blog, he should submit his ideas in a paper for peer review.
It's always been my biggest weakness. I do know a bit about Schroedinger's cat, but never got around to his Carnotaurus.
He seems to have blocked me as I now can't see any of the preceding conversation. Obviously a class thing to slide into a conversation, suggest people are terrible at their work, and then preemptively block them.
I mean, it's close enough in context given the absolute shoeing Wales have had in the last 2 weeks.
This seems unfair, the others all go downhill.
Called it.
Well England, for the second week running that was absolutely shocking.
But are there long-horned and short-horned hornless horned dinosaurs? :D
I mean, it's literally the name we gave to another spinosaur species and based on the 'heron' model that Tom Holtz and I proposed, so pretty hard to claim it's an original quip.
Does that mean we can have short-tailed tailed tailless bats and long-tailed tailed tailless bats?
Buried at the bottom, well below some chancer named Witton.
I've seen it pop up quite prominently on Reddit on threads about the new paper. So there are other people raising it.
I get a quote here on the new Spinosaurus paper in @newscientist.com www.newscientist.com/article/2516...
