Can't wait for next weekend! Although still not sure I can call myself a geneticist 😂
we are a duo of geneticists with a love of all things science-y and fossil-y, if you visited our stall last year we now have new t-shirt designs, new planters designs, and even coasters! #FossilFriday #SciArt #DinoCon

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...
@fionatel.bsky.social is hard at work making more amazing little guys* for Lyme Regis #FossilFestival and @dinoconuk.bsky.social * crochet dino planters for those tiny nursery plants you never know where to put * plant not sold #SciArt #crochet
and here are all the designs! can be mixed and matched to whatever you want #SciArt
we have been testing... stud earrings! ever wanted to wear an extinct crab with anime eyes on your head? we got you covered! (Petra here, I wore a pair all day, very comfy, didn't fall apart so glue is good)
day 2 of #InverteFest we are channeling our inner @minouette.bsky.social with a) trying linocut for the first time b) trying to print on the worst possible surface success or failure? either way we will have these at out @introvertebrates.bsky.social Lyme Regis #FossilFestival table!
the non invertebrate version let's fly into the shimmery sunset with mama
I have recently decided I want to get back into drawing (after a 10 year hiatus) and made this last weekend! Really enjoyed drawing on an iPad for the first time! #inverts
man we really hope we get a table @dinoconuk.bsky.social again this year, esp with all the recent (in our eyes) positive publicity! the con was such a joy last year, even for two introverts surrounded all weekend by people
and here is this year's silly #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience #SciArt doodle i spent mine breaking @mariloumercedes.bsky.social python scripts and giving a seminar on @fionatel.bsky.social paper in review 👩🔬
check out the new #TheIntrovertebrates #crochet dinosaur patterns, all ready for @dinoconuk.bsky.social (in all new glorious gradients) they are fancy goths 💀🦕
You want to collect insects (and maybe other arthropods) for reference genome sequencing, but don't want to spend a fortune on dry ice shipping! All you gotta do is SQUISH. THAT. BUG! More details in our recent preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
She also wouldn't cope without her weekend lie ins or having to set up at 7.30 😂
girls' weekend with @fionatel.bsky.social too bad doggo can't join because doggo is way too anxious around people 🐾
And while you are enjoying the #LymeRegisFossilFestival why not come over to our #TheIntrovertebrates stand in The Hub for some more #SciArt goodies! We got keychains, t-shirts, stickers, dinosaur crochet planters, and more! ⭐ So happy to be sharing the space with so many other "cool dudes" (tm) 😎
find me this weekend at the #LymeRegisFossilFestival Hub point for some chill #SciArt dinosaur coloring/doodling!
me and my friend @fionatel.bsky.social have a lil etsy shop for bug 🐛 and dinosaur 🦕 aficionados, going to our first festival next week! theintrovertebrates.etsy.com

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?
coming to the next event in max #SciArt bling 💎 Triceratops skull drawing by @fionatel.bsky.social
They turned out! SO! GOOD!! 🦕 I'm so making earrings of the geneticist and paleontologist 🧬🦴
