Yes, I’ll be going to see a little movie later today. Never miss a chance to see some 🦕🦖 on the big screen. Might review it later, who knows. 😃

Portland, OR protests today! It’s hardly visible, but you can see fuzzy hints of people going the opposite direction on the second bridge in the distance (lower left corner). That’s further forward in the SAME LINE as the line of protesters on the bridge in the foreground! #NoKings

Happy 25th Anniversary to Disney’s #Dinosaur. This wonderful underrated film helped fuel my career trajectory in dinosaur paleontology. Time for a rewatch. ❤️🦕🦖

It’s been a while since we I’ve mentioned this. I’ve got a book that’s out there. It’s on dinosaur diets, functional anatomy, and paleoecology. Perhaps you’d like to buy it if you haven’t yet. ☺️🦕🦖

If you’re at the Anatomy Connected meeting, come by during the poster session and let me convince you that ceratopsians and dicynodonts are basically the same animal!

Looking forward to friends and colleagues making their way over here to Portland for the Anatomy meeting this weekend!

A reminder of our time in Philly as well as a more general reminder of what we all need in this world. ❤️

Just wanted to take a shot of this random assortment of a few of my favorite models. Whenever I get a chance to set up a display of all my favorites (there’s quite a few of them!) I’ll post that. (And yes, that big one is a brand new Argentinosaurus and it is probably the best model I own now.) 🦕

Loving these decorations on the windows of the Starbucks at OHSU’s children’s hospital. I especially love the rhinoceros fighting an overgrown rhinoceros beetle. :D

Introduction time! I’m an evolutionary anatomist and vertebrate paleontologist teaching medical gross anatomy as an assistant professor. I do research on craniofacial anatomy and function in herbivorous dinosaurs, dicynodonts, and elephants. I also recently wrote a book on Dinosaur Feeding Biology!
