Here it is: my first ever op-ed for Undark Magazine in which I discuss the ethical and legal challenges surrounding research on #fossils from #Crimea and how publishers and scientists should confront them. Palaeontology needs a robust system of provenance declarations.

If you told 18 year old me, having failed biology at A level, that I’d be receiving an award for my palaeontology research from the Royal Society of Biology i would’ve laughed in your face. Anyways, I’m at the House of Commons for the ceremony! 😃🦕🦖

A rather fun spot. The Nervous Rex sketch, which is featured in The Making of #JurassicPark book, is also on a palaeontology review cutout behind John Hammond in the film.

This week’s #RTMPFossilChallenge is 1.3 billion years old! Can you name this fossil? Hint: It’ll be on display in our newly renovated First Life exhibit opening May 17. #FossilFriday

📢If you are planning to apply for the Winifred Goldring Award to pursue your career in #palaeontology (or afifliated sciences) consider that the deadline can be extended up to May 10th if needed

The incredible Plateosaurus on display in Zürich. This was also one of the first dinosaurs I worked on (see also: news.uzh.ch/en/articles/20…). #dinosaurs #Zürich #palaeontology

I still find it crazy that I've been writing on my #palaeontology website for about 7 years now. Progress is progress no matter how small.

The largest theropod (potentially)was discovered in Brazil, the largest marine reptile was also described this year , followed by (potentially) the longest snake to ever exist and now this ?
This has been one of the best years for palaeontology nerds

Nice surprise that our paper investigating archosauromorph skull sizes was one of the top cited papers in Palaeontology over the last few years! 🦖🦕🐊

The first piece they played was Jurassic Park and the second piece Time. Couldn’t be more perfect in a geology palaeontology museum! I had high expectation of the acoustics but they totally exceeded my expectation! Thanks to all who worked late to make the dream happen!
