Let me know if you find a good writing community!

My newest interpretation of #Therizinosaurus. Certainly, the best of the mega theropods ;)

I don’t want to generate or receive an email, document, manuscript, PowerPoint deck, post it note, grocery list, novel, film, or hit list that has been generated with AI.

Drink their coffee.

I need to finish all episodes of the new Walking with Dinosaurs, but so far it’s got quite a range of highs and lows.

And also…chat, is there perhaps a faint echo of a paintpaddock piece in contemporary paleomedia?

Introducing Mosura fentoni, a new radiodont from the #BurgessShale.
Paper here: doi.org/10.1098/rsos.2…
This #fossil species has 3 eyes, spiny claws, wing-shaped swimming flaps, and a unique abdomen-like body region.

Sending hugs, my friend.

Mine? I need a complete Brachiosaurus altithorax skull. 😭😭😭

Who knew a fish could express "What the fuck was that?" with such ease.

The plot points write themselves.

An illustration of an orca, a black and white dolphin. This individual was known as Keiko. His tall dorsal fin is flopped over on one side.

Many of my colleagues view the story and fate of #Keiko the orca as a failure. I think this underplays the effort and hard work of many smart, passionate people.

We learned a lot about cetacean rehabilitation. Keiko got the dignity of passing away in his home waters, far from his tiny tank.

I mean, seriously. Was ever an animal more aptly named? It looks like a guardian forest spirit.

NEW EPISODE! 🦕
Ellen is joined by paleoartist and marine biologist @thepaintpaddock.bsky.social for a review of the ancient giants that towered over the late Jurassic world: Brachiosaurus! Check it out wherever you get podcasts!

An illustration of the long necked sauropod dinosaur, Brachiosaurus. It is colored brown with dark and light accents. The head is blue.

Here’s a glamor shot ✨

An illustration of the bipedal dinosaur, Tyrannosaurus. It’s colored a slate gray-blue with yellow accents on the face. There is a coat of feathers stretching from the neck to the top of the hips.

Rex appeal.

I had to explain to this woman at a /marine biology conference/ that I didn’t vote for Trump. Why do I need to apologize for the stupidity of over half of the voting body? I’m working in conservation and education every fucking day.

I know we’re tired of the politics talk, but I just need to rant.

International friends, stop accusing every American you meet as being complicit in Trump’s bullshit. This happened to me in Australia & I had no real outlet for it at the time, and now I’m seeing it happen increasingly to others.

Congrats Henry! This is awesome!

JUST OUT!!! Happy to announce my first publication, coauthored with @davehone.bsky.social, Tim Gomes, and Joseph Peterson. Meet Infernodrakon hastacollis - a new name for the azhdarchid from the Hell Creek Formation! Life restoration by @jhemiptera.bsky.social

‘I really wanted something to happen.’ The students behind the Stand Up for Science protests New group hopes to turn out researchers for 7 March demonstrations against Trump administration policies

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals.

So far, they have attracted more than 100 volunteers from some 30 states who are hoping to rally support for research as a public good. scim.ag/4328LAD

With an overwhelming amount of submissions, your donations for the #ArtemisPaleozoo's first Bug-Off Valentine's Fundraiser were a smashing success! Raising upwards of $10,000, we are thankful for the many (and we mean many) names our guest's submitted. 🪱🍏

Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️
