I hate hearing "because of the color of my skin" in race-related conversations. No. Your skin is fine. Their inhumanity and cruelty is what's at fault.

Amandla (@tjAmandla) and I have been given an impossible choice that seriously jeopardises our ability to finish our PhDs. We didn’t want to do this publicly but as we cannot return to the US. Anything helps. Please share if you can. chuffed.org/project/200834-s…

For anyone going to #SVP2026, stop by during next #FossilFriday's poster session for what might be my best (certainly most ambitious) design so far! (And some science too, but you're already there for that, at least in part...)

I wish we still had a bunch of comically large birds running and flying around. It would make bird watching a far more ambitious undertaking…

If you watch only one clip from the Philadelphia City Council hearing about the closure of the Academy of Natural Sciences, let it be this one. It — and I don't say this lightly — must be seen to be believed. #SaveTheAcademy

If you want more details (besides just reading the paper), I'll also be doing a talk version of this live on my YouTube channel sometime in the next week or so – this paper came out sooner than I was expecting and I'm busy... Stay tuned for an announcement though!

How isn’t this major news worldwide? ‼️ Indonesia has MORE endemic species of wildlife than anywhere on earth. Every island full of thousands of species found no where else. All that rainforest is turning into charcoal and then crops. 🦧🔥 It’s the most depressing thing ever! 😭

After 1.5 years of work & two rounds of peer review, I just found out this #FossilFriday that my 1st lead author paper is finally out! This brief study examines two sets of impressions found in New Haven, CT that may or may not have been left by pieces of #aetosaur armor. 1/11
Black-and-white line illustration by Midiaou Diallo depicting a small armored aetosaur navigating the aftermath of a flash flood in a Late Triassic rift valley, in what will one day become New Haven, Connecticut. Two deceased conspecifics lay nearby, with pieces of their armor scattered about the scene. An opportunistic small feathered theropod sits on a downed tree in the background.
