Pretty much standing room only for @jgn-paleo.bsky.social presenting on the Dueling Dinosaurs and recent Nanotyrannus publication.
Starting out providing context for Nanotyrannus research and controversy.

Yara Haridy on Ordivician vertebrates and the origin of bone remodeling:
Synchrotron scanning tech really shines when used with tiny fossils such as those from jawless fish. This includes bony scales on the body of Astraspis.
Investigation shows bone remodeling predates osteocytes!

Starting #2025SVP talks with the Synchrotron Radiation Micro-CT Scanning in Paleontology symposium in Hall 1! I always love seeing the talks on advances in this technology and its applications in paleo.

#2025SVP folks, if you are looking for a fun area bar with some non-alcoholic options, check out The Botanist on Bridge St! The food was pretty solid too. (I got a piri piri chicken kabob with grilled Mediterranean veggies as the side.) A+ spot!

Clean sweep. Prop 50 in CA called as passing. It’s frustrating that this maneuver was necessary… but it was absolutely necessary.

I’d like to contribute something insightful to the current moment, but all I have is deafening rage at the greedy, entitled ghouls that dragged us to this place.
So here are some of my favorite recent paleo-art pieces that have been uplifting.
Remember even the tiniest acts of resistance help.

Abstract accepted for a poster at @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social! Instead of the education side, I'm packing as much entrepreneurial strategy, process, and lessons learned from 11 years leading the Sternberg Camps. My hope is that this info can be valuable to other institutions’ funding stress.
