🦎✨ New research delivers the 1st full 3D anatomical atlases of the veiled chameleon (Chamaeleo calyptratus)! Open-access atlases + lesson plans offer powerful new tools for studying reptile evolution and teaching comparative anatomy.

Getting excited... for #FossilFriday ! Our Morrison Ankylosaur monograph may be published online in a week. Hopefully, this will lead to a fix in many ankylosaur phylogenies. A dozen known Morrison ankylosaur sites spanning 4 states. Who would have think it 35 years ago?

No. I don’t just draw dinosaurs! These illustrations were commissioned for the Feeding Without Jaws Exhibition at @lapworthmuseum.bsky.social Check out their website - www.birmingham.ac.uk/events/feedi... - for more details of the exhibition, which runs until the end of February. (1/4)

🐊 Largest survey of skeletal disease in living crocodilians! Nearly half showed osteopathologies, w/trauma most common. Skulls were hit hardest, and non-traumatic issues like inflammation and joint degeneration rose w/size & age.

Not for nothing, but I commissioned artwork just for a poster at #SVP2025 by @seismic-shrimp.bsky.social

Supporting real live artists isn't all that hard to do! Especially for the cover of a supposedly leading journal. Enough of this AI slop.

Bon dia! Algunes postes i albades són rogenques perquè el Sol està a l'horitzó i la llum solar (blanca) travessa més atmosfera. L’aire dispersa les longituds d'ona curtes (blaves) i deixa passar les llargues (vermelles) 🤓. On dirieu que es va enregistrar aquesta posta de Sol? 🦘

My advice for #2025SVP would be aimed not to students, who are excellent in our society and I am sure will do great but on senior academics. During Q&A, please resist the urge to grandstand or grill. Be polite, constructive, and supportive. That’s how we build a stronger, kinder community. #SVP2025
Many of our student attendees will be giving their first talk or poster this meeting! What advice you give them to help make it the best experience possible?
