The amount of AI generated art in slides at this conference, primarily used by older scientists, is killing me. Scientists please. Don’t use these ai platforms to make your figures or slides. They look bad and I have yet to see them meaningfully improve the message of talks.

Whelp, I suppose this is now Nanotyrannus lethaeus.

Kids, being cute but demanding since the Cretaceous.

A quick little doodle of a baby Maiasaura, inspired by the recent study reinforcing the idea that they stayed in the nest for a good while and needed intensive care.

David James Armsby has done it again! Dinosauria is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of what paleo-media can be. I can't wait for the next one!

Speaking of the importance of context, pretty proud of my research on the FPA in the late 1980s. #FossilFriday Perhaps the best understood square mile of Upper Jurassic in North America. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

And this, dear reader, is why we use references. The top illustration was done some time ago, largely from memory. A museum wanted to licence it, but I insisted on reworking it first, to make it more accurate and appropriate for an educational setting. The difference is kinda dramatic! 😳

Dinosaurs Survived!

A modern day dinosaur sits atop the skull of Allosaurus fragilis.

The common raven can seen deserts in the deserts of current day Colorado flying above the Morrison Formation where the remains of Allosaurus are found.

Apparently, it was #DinosaurDay, which also coincides with the beginning of #Pride month, so yay for us LGBTQ+ dino folk. Though really, every day is Dinosaur Day. 🦕🦖

I don't think I've posted this older Deinonychus drawing here. From 2019, the tail end of the days Before Covid.

Ready for tiny birds from above the Arctic Circle? Our new paper on the Cretaceous origins of Arctic nesting drops today in Science. This project was led by @lnwilson.bsky.social‬ and features amazing fossils recovered by Pat Druckenmiller’s field program in the Prince Creek Formation of Alaska.

🧵🇮🇨Canary Islands in paleomedia📽️🦕
Over the past decades, several documentaries and series about dinosaurs and prehistoric life have been filmed in the Canary Islands. Now that the new edition of #WalkingWithDinosaurs is coming out, let's get to know these shows!

One episode down, #WalkingWithDinosaurs is a welcome return after over a quarter of a century. Visually it’s beautiful with incredibly realised Dino’s, and lush cinematography. The fresh focus on modern day, #paleo science is also a welcome edition to bridge the theory with the fact. 🦖

Haven't given up on #ArtBoost, just overwhelmed. Today's is for Miguelangelo Tornero (can't find him on BSky) who's producing very nice #palaeoart, often of a Gondwanan flavour. Is also currently producing #WalkingWithDinosaurs and #JurassicWorldRebirth    fanart, and it looks great.

Happy to announce that I had an opportunity to help out on the pterosaur designs in the new Walking with Dinosaurs.

Congratulations to the creative and scientific team! Toot toot.

I watched #wwd2025 !
I really liked it but i wouldn't say it felt much like the 90s walking with dinosaurs. i don't think it'd be as good if it were trying to, though.

All around it's a solid documentary- would recommend. Biggest issue is the lack of Triassic episodes, but what we got was great.

The new Walking With Dinosaurs is here!

A quarter century ago the original inspired this geeky teenager to study dinosaurs. I hope this series does the same for a new generation!

A special full circle moment to work on the series & consult with @arctomet.bsky.social & @skeletaldrawing.bsky.social
