To celebrate #NationalFossilDay we're sharing the story of our paleontology intern Kyra Mauntel & a #research trip she recently participated in. Because the only thing better than #fossils, is sharing science with students and the public. @ashpoust.bsky.social news.unl.edu/article/nebr...

Nebraska helps Mauntel turn childhood passion into future in paleontology

A childhood dream of becoming a paleontologist became real for Kyra Mauntel this summer, when she joined an international research team in Paraguay. The hands-on experience is helping Mauntel discover...

This game was a huge influence on me and specifically informed Expedition Nebraska, the interactive museum I produced for Nebraska Public Media: nebraskapublicmedia.org/en/nebraska-...

Experience prehistoric Nebraska and ‘meet’ animals that lived and died during millions of years on the Great Plains.

Are there any Eyewitness Virtual Reality Dinosaur Hunter fans in the audience tonight

The paper case for the CD-ROM game Eyewitness Virtual Reality Dinosaur Hunter. It reads "Dinosaur Hunter. Bring dinosaurs back to life! For ages 8 and up". It features a 3D model of a T. rex skeleton and cutout images of various dinosaurs adorning the title of the game. In the upper left corner is the Dorling Kindersley logo (an open book with the red letters DK on the pages)

On Earth 2, we can't believe how good the new HBO Animorphs show looks. "They nailed the morphing," people enthuse. The nonbinary actor playing Ax's human morph is cutting it up on the Las Culturistas podcast. The actress playing Rachel has handcuffed herself to a data center

Are we in space? Are we in water? Are we peering through a window of time, to the late Triassic, watching a plesiosaur eat the sun? ~Yes~ (posca markers on scrap wood)

July's being called "Disability Pride Month", which is neat. As a cerebral palsy patient and epileptic, I want to take a beat to remind people of something important that we seem to be forgetting: Anybody who uses terms like "r*tard" does in fact deserve a slow demise alone at the bottom of a ditch.

I’m excited to be able to share this news with you all. I’ve been commissioned by University of Nebraska State Museum to illustrate a book telling the story of Archie - the famous (and largest) Columbian mammoth. (1/4)

An illustration of a large Columbian mammoth (close relative of the more wooly variety!) splashing through a stream against the backdrop of a stormy sky.
Prehistoric Midwest@prehistoricmidwest.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Hi all! Just starting here on Bluesky, we've been posting for a while on Instagram as Paleo Kansas City but we've decided to make a Bluesky page as well! We make our own paleoart and we post about prehistoric animals found in the Midwest! Here's a Triceratops post to start things off!

Some may remember Cosmo, my beloved parrot, who I lost in 2024, and this superhero design in his honor, brought to life by @stickasaurus.bsky.social. I finally got around to editing some nice photos of the finished design, based on the 1991 series 𝘊𝘩𝘰𝘫𝘪𝘯 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪 𝘑𝘦𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘯. The result is pretty cool!

Also, some neat concept art for the superhero helmet from two angles.

Pronghorns are remarkably special hoofed mammals, but the group as a whole has a rich fossil record, full of surprises. I wrote about this lot back in 2021 and just had reason to do an editorial revamp. Check it out here... tetzoo.com/blog/2021/11... #mammals #fossils #fossilmammals

Here we are with another effort to recycle material from the TetZoo archives (and invariably ruined by its hosters and hence made unavailable to those who might consult it). This time: a revamped vers...

One hopes images like this, when paired with the knowledge that everything we burn ends up in that tiny slice of gasses, would help contextualize why we need to move away from energy sources we set on fire. One hopes. Climate communicators should make some hay of this.

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

"Is there technology the left is excited about?" is the kind of question you only ask if you're wildly naive about technology. mRNA vaccines. Heat pumps. Offshore wind. Urban mining. Sodium batteries. But god forbid we're not fawning over every new implementation of Making Computers Bad At Math.
