Bad Ancient/ Owen Rees@badancient.bsky.social · 5d agoThe Bad Ancient team's interview with @iflscience.com is live! Inspired by the Odyssey film, it focuses on the question of the Sea Peoples and 'collapsing civilisations'. Also, it is the first time we have ever been called a 'ragtag team' and I like it. We should put that in a bio somewhere!
And in a thousand years, project it onto the white cliffs of Dover ❤️

Big thanks to @tweetisaurus.bsky.social @profpaulbarrett.bsky.social and @stevebrusatte.bsky.social for talking me through the real cost of dinosaur auctions. $50 mil is just the surface of what's lost when fossils wind up in people's living rooms @iflscience.com www.iflscience.com/50-million-d...

Everyone is eulogising Sam Neill with Jurassic Park, as they should, it’s the best film ever made and Dr Grant is an icon. But if you’ve never watched The Dish, you should rectify that immediately 💔

Penguin visiting McMurdo station sometime between 1961 and 2009: "It's so cool of you guys to invite me over and show me where you do all your research. What do you do for fun? Bowling? What's that? You throw a heavy ball at - oh. Oh my god. I need to leave."

The wishful crew for Artemis IV that I and @katyfevans.bsky.social would like is: Jessica Mier, Jessica Watkins, Christina Koch and Samantha Cristoforetti!

Why were the arms of T. rex so tiny? Literally the size of human arms, but on a bus-sized animal. Insane! Many of us have had ideas over the years & I'm part of a project led by @funstonpaleo.bsky.social But first, my thoughts on a new study for @iflscience.com www.iflscience.com/t-rex-had-hu...
T. Rex Had "Human-Sized Arms On A Bus-Sized Animal" – Now We Have The Best Explanation Yet For Why
The idea that T. rex's tiny arms were a consequence of its large, powerful skull isn't new – but a study of 85 theropod species pulls together some convincing numbers to back up the claim.
