It's happening. The reports are true. A new Jurassic World film is in the works! And I'll be back as a consultant, helping the moviemakers get a pulse on what we really know about dinosaurs. Honored again to follow in the footsteps of Jack Horner. Stay tuned...

We've launched a podcast: Our Oceans - Life Under Water, hosted by Hannah Stitfall. By 2030 we need 30% of our ocean protected - right now we have under 3%. It's ambitious, but bridging this gap isn't as hard as you might think. open.spotify.com/show/6BUAtH9pd… (feat: HS)

The reason for working hard recently: I want to share my work with people as soon as possible to promote their protection.😊

The five stages of academic writing: 1. Procrastination 2. Panic 3. Caffeine overdose 4. Submitting a barely coherent mess 5. Swearing to do it differently next time

No one can solve all the problems, but everyone can do something. I sometimes say saving the planet is a team sport. It takes everyone to do what they have the capacity to do.
