For #FossilFriday, here's a chance if you're a #DinoCon vendor, speaker or presenter to show or tell what you're doing there (Hilton Birmingham Metropole, July 25th-26th). I'm speaking marine reptiles, and selling #AncientSeaReptiles and my new CROCODYLOMORPH EMPIRE poster...

AI generated cover, probably all 56 figures inside as well, with absolutely no genAI use disclosure on the main page. Not to mention if AI was used for the cover, who is to guarantee that the text wasn't AI generated as well? Did a human check the text or references for hallucination? Very sloppy...

Paleoart Workshop
10.30-11.30
Dinosaur reconstructions
Jay Balamurugan (Age 10+yrs)
Have you ever wondered about how scientists and artists work together to bring extinct animals to life in illustrations, books, and documentaries? In this workshop, Jay will run through how paleoartists reconstruct dinosaurs and other prehistoric life - from looking at the original fossils and skeletal diagrams to referencing modern animals and their behaviours and ecologies. By the end of the session, we'll have illustrated an iconic local extinct species!

Paleoart Workshop
13.30-14.30
Doodling and colouring corner
Petra Korlevic
(Ages 3-6yrs - accompanied)
A relaxed workshop offering the opportunity to come colour a variety of dinosaurs and other extinct animal themed templates or draw and colour your own. Perfect for a sit down and some downtime in between the hustle and bustle of the event!

I think this is another sign of the huge disconnect between scientists and the public. If you are willing to use known plagiarism machines to write a paper, THEN NOT EVEN DISCLOSE IT, how is the public supposed to trust you haven't plagiarised or straight up "made up" your data and results?
