Love this display about replicas of dino bone #1 (#Megalosaurus dentary) by Dr Emma Louise Nicholls Oxford University Museum of Natural History, Oxford University Museum of Natural History, featuring in the centre a TS3D replica (from a scan earlier this year) & a copy of William Buckland's own copy (in plaster).

The latest in tyrannosaur body size evolution and feeding mechanics based on my PhD work at @bristolpalaeo with Emily Rayfield - still more to come in the near future... cell.com/iscience/fullt…

When did feathers evolve? Are bird feathers homologous with pterosaur tufts? Check out our new preprint, lead by the fantastic Pierre Cockx. We use different models, outgroups and coding strategies to clarify feather evolution. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A wonderful day celebrating the illustrious career of one of the most brilliant palaeontologists ever. Professor Mike Benton. Enjoy your 'retirement', Mike! It was lovely to hear lots of people share so many wonderful stories about Mike. Legend. #BentonFest

Congratulations to Davis Laundon for an amazing talk at IFPA in Montréal showing his work imaging placentas large and small to investigate what is necessary for successful pregnancy. Southampton Medicine

Research by Neil J Gostling which challenges our misconceptions about the Dodo has now been turned into a comic strip by Nautilus Magazine! 🦤 nautil.us

Once thought to be as mythical as the phoenix, the Dodo was not as dumb as you were led to believe. Check out this fantastic #comic by Nautilus Magazine describing their life & history based on Neil J Gostling's paper in our journal! nautil.us/how-history-di… The Linnean Society of London

nature I co-lead this research (together with Luis M. Chiappe) and was able to reconstruct both the complete skull and its endocranial cavities. Navaornis represents one of the best-preserved Mesozoic bird skulls ever found.

Today is the 165th Anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species. Published in 1859. The book has never been out of print. Darwin's explanation of the mechanism of evolution, Natural Selection, is one of the most exquisite ideas in science.

Oh my goodness - this is incredible. I’m always cautious about using the term “breakthrough” but this could be a real game-changer - forcing blood cells to reveal that they are infected with HIV. theguardian.com/global-develop…

A great set of talks highlighting the amazing level of research going on in the The Doctoral College . Amazing speakers and communicators, and this old duffer talking about the importance of outreach and public engagement. Amazing researchers at University of Southampton. Really impressive.

Outstanding PhD researchers in The Doctoral College University of Southampton. Outstanding examples of communication and presentation skills.

A very sad day. RIP slender-billed curlew
