To each their own, but I really enjoyed watching #jurassicworlddominion ! It was great seeing feathered dinosaurs and having the whole cast together! On a personal level, I’m really proud to have collaborated on research with both of the amazing consultants, @steve.brusatte and @jackhornersdinovision, especially because it was a project on tyrannosaurs!

Just back from #newmexico fieldwork, where I was digging for mammals instead of #dinosaurs. Amazing finds, people, and landscapes all around.

Incredibly excited to announce that our paper on the new Scottish pterosaur, Dearc sgiathanach (Scottish Gaelic, pronounced “jark ski-an-ack), was published this morning!

Part of the reason @britpro and I were so excited to #travel to #Caithness and #Orkney was all of the #history preserved there! More than 5000 years of history is preserved in Orkney, stretching from #neolithic peoples through the Picts, and then #Vikings, who later became Christians.

#Orkney is full of amazing seascapes, but I was just transfixed by the constant power of the waves against the cliffs. The Old Red Sandstone (Devonian, ~390 million years old) fractures into distinctive planes, resulting in iconic textured sea stacks and a unique coastline.

One of the highlights of our trip to #orkney was a visit to @highlandparkofficial! They’re one of the few distilleries that still operates their own malting floor, which is necessary so they can use sweet heathery Orkney peat to dry their barley (that peat fire smelled AMAZING). The heathery peat gives the whisky its distinctive sweet but smoky flavour!
