We attended this year's @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social meeting in Birmingham. There we spoke to the organisers, delegates and merchants to give you a sense of what it's like to attend one of the world's largest palaeontological conferences. #paleo #dinosaurs

Annual Meeting #2025SVP was an absolute blast! Great to reconnect with European colleagues this year, and to hang out with EDDy Lab folks again. I presented some of our ongoing work on #teeth #biomechanics. Stay tuned, more toothy madness on the way! 🦷

Can you teach human anatomy - or know someone who can?

CWRU Anatomy is recruiting, and it would be great to have another paleontologist in the department!

Please share widely!

A small selection of snapshots from #2025SVP last week for this #FossilFriday! This was my first @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social meeting since 2022 & it was fantastic to see so many friends & colleagues after so long. Presented my latest research & forged new connections - much exciting work ahead!

Congratulations to SVP Communications Committee member Noah da Silva!

Keep an eye out for a new video series Noah is hosting for us where he will be breaking down the methods sections of recent paleontology papers. The first episode from him and his team should debut in late December.
A huge congratulations to Noah da Silva (Camps alumni and Teaching Assistant) for this fantastic achievement!

The last leaves of autumn glow even brighter to a hungry pair of Therizinosaurus, bulking up for a long winter. These strange dinosaurs are some of my favorites, and though they're slow movers, they made it just in time to be included in my new calendar!

What's the secret to being a 'good' and 'productive' scientist? Having a lab with the brightest, most enthusiastic students!

And here, in no particular order, is a sample of Univ of Edinburgh student research at last week's @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social meeting in Birmingham!

Finally, the specimen of Tupandactylus imperator, held at the Brazil's National Museum, has been published on. The goat-like beard is likely the plant matter.

Always a great time at #2025SVP! I enjoyed getting to share some of my early dissertation work and hear what's going on around the world of marine reptiles.

I filmed several timelapse videos during the meeting but unless someone returns my bag you won't get to see them.

Feeling tired on the train back from #2025SVP after a great conference. Loved being able to talk about snakes, see a bunch of cool talks, and see my palaeo friends. Shout out to drinking wine under a dinosaur with @lucyroberts.bsky.social!🍷🐍🦖

#2025SVP might be over for most delegates, but Ben Igielman led a large group today to Triassic fossil localities in South Wales and Gloucestershire.

Had a great time in the weeks leading up to #2025SVP working with @seismic-shrimp.bsky.social on the poster art for Ichthyodectid tail trauma. Highly recommend!
Now that SVP is over, I can finally post the commission that I did for @mosasaurologist.bsky.social 's poster on a certain very cool taxon! #paleoart #sciart

Thank you to everyone for making #2025SVP in Birmingham productive and fun! After spending the day on planes I'm finally home in NY. Now to actually write up the results of all the data collection I did in UK museums before the conference.....

I had a wonderful time at #2025SVP in Birmingham, UK! Gave a talk about suction feeding in fossil odontocetes (“toothed whales”). I thoroughly enjoyed the numerous insightful, engaging conversations I had with colleagues throughout the meeting. Looking forward to Cleveland next year!

Great to have the chance to talk about the conservation palaeobiology of Cuban crocodiles at #2025SVP in Birmingham last week and also to see so many fantastic talks and posters from the other members of the @es-ucl.bsky.social palaeo group! 🦴🐊

Gorgeous day on the Isle of Wight looking at footprints, prospecting, and examining some previously discovered fossils on our post- #2025SVP UK dinos fieldtrip. I told you it was sunnier down south... Big thanks @valdosaurus.bsky.social

Sad to hear that Philippe Taquet has passed away (16 November, Le Monde). A great palaeontologist and a generous scholar. #2025SVP
