My poster on #Twitch paleontology livestreams is now up at #2025SVP!

Come find me upstairs to talk about how YOU can live stream your fieldwork to audiences around the world (and supercharge your outreach and fundraising in the process). If I can do it, you can too 💪🏽

Happy #FossilFriday! Here's an *enormous* ichthyosaur skull from the Triassic of Nevada, USA. This one might be a new species?

I was lucky enough to see this at an awesome temporary ichthyosaur exhibit at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno a couple months ago. Highly recommended
Photo of a HUGE ichthyosaur skull. It's sitting on some sand on the floor, with a particleboard barrier behind it — simple and low-cost display infrastructure, but it really works well in this exhibit

It's our LAST STREAM for two weeks, since I'm departing for the UK and #SVP2025 tomorrow! Tune in now for #Paleontology Q&A, a discussion of why scientific conferences are important, and then our usual Thursday BIRDSday festivities

Hopefully we won't have *too* many feline eclipses on today's #Twitch stream, especially since we'll be interviewing @fbertpaleo.bsky.social about his new hadrosaur mating evidence paper.

Join us @ twitch.tv/paleontologizing for live Q&A, paleontological discussion and science camaraderie

It's a Paleontologizing #Halloween special today! We'll be applying a paleontological perspective to the 'Loch Ness Monster' legend — and talking about a *real life* aquatic monster reptile which plies the Earth's oceans even now 👀

Join us @ twitch.tv/paleontologizing for paleo chat & camaraderie

We're now starting our FIRST EPISODE of 'The Fossil Finders,' a new series with @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social

and we're interviewing @doublebeam.bsky.social, sauropod & pachycephalosaur expert — and also an old friend of mine — about his fieldwork adventures!

Tune in @ twitch.tv/paleontologizing

We're having a chill #TurtleTuesday stream on Twitch today, with additional discussion of Liaoningosaurus (they're juveniles!) and whatever else chat wants to talk about.

I was given a special seat for the TwitchCon opening ceremony — and here's the 'DinoDance' emote on screen, which I thought was worthy of a photo. I might be doing something cool and paleontology-related with that sometime soon...

Some of those perks were made plainly obvious, though

There were quite a few special perks on offer to a new 'ambassador' — rideshare vouchers, meals, special passes — which I was completely oblivious to for most of the week. I was a lot like Homer here
A limousine driver holds up a sign reading "SIMPSON," while oblivious Homer, leading his family past the limo, says "Look, Marge, that guy has the same last name we do" and then hails a taxi instead

It also means I got to fly out to San Diego for this year's TwitchCon to participate in all kinds of special events

#TwitchCon 2025 last week was a blast — hanging out with other scientist streamers, talking with Twitch staff, and meeting Paleontologizing viewers for the first time — and I'm just now getting a chance to sit down and post some photos. Let me show you what I got up to 👀

...and here's how the vaquita looked after @kaseysnow.bsky.social painted on the face!

Kasey was able to carry around this adorable critter for the whole convention, sparking *tons* of conversations about the vaquita's plight. I'm so proud to have been part of this!

Okay, here's the vaquita (partly painted!) here in the hotel room at #TwitchCon

I just did a front-lobby hand-off to @kaseysnow.bsky.social, so she'll be painting on the porpoise's face. Can't wait to see it finished!

If you're gonna be at #TwitchCon San Diego this year, flag me down and I'll give you some stickers! This year I've got the Paleontologizing logo, as well as a leatherback turtle design I put together to raise awareness about these superlative creatures
