✅ I finally got a chance to ask my “fifth committee member”, Jeff Goldblum, to sign my dissertation, which is titled “Life Finds a Way: Carnivore Movement and Conflict in Developing Landscapes”. 😋

My work on human-wildlife interactions continues to embody this iconic Jurassic Park phrase 🐾👣🌱.

Had the amazing privilege earlier in the year to watch a lithographic limestone plate be made by one last plate makers in Germany. Each plate is cut and then hammered by hand into shape - and after having a go it's very skilled work. Currently they have no apprentices, so a truly dying art.

Le doublage français est en danger. Les comédiens et les comédiennes qui ont prêtés leurs voix durant des décennies risquent d'être remplacés par l'intelligence artificiel. Il est temps qu'on se batte contre cette menace. Partagez votre soutien avec le hashtag #touchepasmavf. Merci beaucoup.

This is a nearly finished reconstruction of this amazing Felid for my licensing library that you might see in some upcoming projects (more on that later in the year)

A parent Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) and a calf. This is the illustration I was commissioned to do for the package art of one of the upcoming figures created by Creative Beasts Studio for the @pbseons.bsky.social Woolly Mammoth project

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

Something wonderful for the weekend!

About 40,000 years ago, during the #IceAge, an ancient artist skilfully sculpted this tiny head of a cave lion from mammoth ivory. It is one of the World’s oldest known works of figurative art.
