Research on Osuchus lerichei, a Late Paleocene gavialoid, reveals 6 autapomorphies & suggests marine adaptations. Hints at transoceanic dispersal in Eosuchus & raises questions about salt excretion being ancestral in Gavialoidea. Burke et al.: doi.org/10.1002/ar.255…

Have you ever wondered what factors shape the processes of morphological evolution? And how might innovations arise and contribute to patterns of diversification? Our new paper uses 3D CT scans of tetraodontiform fishes to explore these questions. doi.org/10.1093/evolut… 1/15

New in visionOS 2 is support for the Pixar-invented Subdivision Surfaces – which lets you turn low-res geometry into high quality meshes 🤯 The docs are light on info, but I got in touch with an Apple engineer – and in this video I'll show you how it works on #AppleVisionPro

Crocodylomorphs were once far more diverse than they are today. 🐊 Fossils from Brazil’s Late Cretaceous Bauru Group include terrestrial notosuchians w/varied ecology. New analysis of Barreirosuchus franciscoi reveals semiaquatic abilities Fachini et al.: doi.org/10.1002/ar.256…

My jaw just DROPPED. Rork lets you create entire iOS apps just by describing them! Zero. Code. Required. This changes everything for app development. Rork blows Bolt out of the water (and yes, I invested immediately after trying it). Watch this — it's crazy:

BFEX was just published yesterday, and today, it received the first update: A renowned User Interface that make it much easier to use. Building FEA never was as easier as today 😁 Download BFEX 2.0 from github.com/MiguelDLM/BFEX

Young people wanting to break into palaeontology, but not wanting to diversify their skillset to encompass soft and interdisciplinary skills. There's not many jobs in palaeo. Don't treat it as a personal failure when you've to alter your career trajectory mid-way.

The latest project I’ve been working on is the design of Liquid Glass, alongside an army of designers and engineers. We're designing it to bend and shape light while feeling like an elastic, flexible material that can dynamically shape shift, to make apps feel fluid and organic.

All interactions of Apple's new Liquid Glass UI in one video:
