I had such an amazing time at #SADP2022!

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.
