Which will be my demise: A) 100°+ Moab heat w/ wildfire smoke hanging over the quarry. B) Dino fanantics treating specimens like video game updates. C) Palaeo accts that take one sentence from a 40p paper & make it clickbait. D) B & C. It’s made you pull your hair out already. E) All the above.
Never meet your heroes? Well what if it’s a battle scarred, meat eating machine?! Yeah I’m talking about Big Al (MOR 693). As a kid watching The Ballad of Big Al, how could you not look up to this massive theropod?! Infected toe, broken ribs, weird vertebrae, a hole in the shoulder? What a legend!
#SVP2025 was finally an opportunity to show the excellent reconstructions of Dysalotosaurus created by @dragonsofwales.bsky.social

Scenes from the #SVP2025 #2025SVP #paleoart workshop. We had terrific talks from @cpdinosaurs.bsky.social, @tetzoo.bsky.social, @palaeojules.bsky.social and @bobnichollsart.bsky.social, as well as fantastic discussion from attendees. Thanks to everyone who contributed, I hope you all enjoyed it!
We need a call to action to save museums and get attendance back up… my heart aches for my home and institution 🧪👩🏻🔬🔬🔭🧬🌎🌱 youtu.be/wUxFy3iTE9E?...

Last week I visited the rex, the myth, the legend… SUE! I’ve seen @suethetrex.bsky.social many times over the years at The Field Museum, but this was at the @museumoftherockies.bsky.social in her new stance! I was so inspired & felt compelled to bow to the tyrant Iizard king 💜🦖🦴 Happy Unearth Day!

Where are my DK Dinosaur Hunters at?! This game immersed me into a world as a kid (7 yr), and now is my career (36 yr)! I took the audio from the game and meshed it to our Dino Hall at ANSP. I need this game revamped for the new generation. 🧪👩🏻🔬🦖🦴🏛️ #paleosky #dinosaurs #museum #naturalhistory #fossil
Hybrid Meeting with author Christa Sadler, Wednesday, May 21, 7:00 PM. Sadler will talk about her brand-new book: "Dinosaur Frontier: Utah at the Dawn of the Cretaceous". Visit the UFOP website at rb.gy/eh1jft for more info or to sign up for the online meeting. #FossilFriday
With all the dire wolf stories out there, how about we take a moment to enjoy some quiet time alone in Dinosaur Hall with the ghosts of the Mesozoic Era. Here we have a Chasmosaurus and Corythosaurus at ANSP. 🧪👩🏻🔬🦖🌎 #paleosky #dinosaurs #museum #naturalhistory #paleontology #geoscience #sciencemuseum
New paper! Social media for fisheries science and management professionals: How to use Bluesky and Instagram, and why you should. This is the *first* paper in the peer reviewed scientific literature to explain how Bluesky works and how to use it for #SciComm 🧪🦑🐠 academic.oup.com/fisheries/ad...

I made a meme (?) during these dire times. 🧪🧬👩🏻🔬 #paleosky #paleontology #direwolf #sciencenews
Working on a video about the Dire Wolf frenzy that is taking over social media… especially the misinformation. They’re still extinct. My museum, Academy of Natural Sciences, does have the Joseph Leidy type specimen (not 📷) of Aenocyon dirus & I have a tattoo of one! Stay tuned for its release 🧪🧬👩🏻🔬
Great news. Nay, the best news. Flickr user and all-around hero grafxmangrafxman has uploaded photos of every single fossil and text graphic from the old NMNH fossil halls. Including many that I had failed to document. I'm ecstatic! Thanks Enzo B for the heads up. www.flickr.com/photos/80431...
Some good rockhounding yesterday. I’ll be back to this location Saturday to film some long-form videos for my YT channel as I start my journey into online science communication (on top of my museum scientific job)! 🧪🌎👩🏻🔬 #minerals #geology #earthscience #rocks #geoscience
If you’re a geologist, palaeontologist, rockhounder… you know this is a core practice. I mean how else am I supposed to get my daily iron intake? Eating spinach?!
