A correction, the original piece was a watercolour drawing (bsky.app/profile/tecu...) but the AI processing on top completly sucked out the human touch and charm. Believe in own skills, don't let an algorithm cover your skill and humanity.
AI slop gracing the cover of Royal Society B. Not only in AI yellow but scientifically nonsensical. Come on. I'm certain human photographs and artworks were ignored to platform ... this.

Here's the version of the news release from Ohio University that provides a common language explanation of the project: www.ohio.edu/news/2025/11... 2/2
OHIO researcher co-authors new study showing pterosaurs and birds evolved flight-ready brains in different ways
A new study published in Current Biology, co-authored by Lawrence Witmer, now sheds light on how pterosaurs evolved the neurological structures required for powered flight.

‘It seemed like the right time to shift perspective’: Prehistoric Planet creators on why David Attenborough isn’t involved in Ice Age
David Attenborough was the voice of seasons 1-2 of Prehistoric Planet on Apple TV, but has been swapped out for Ice Age. Don't worry, though... this isn't a health scare.

I made a lot (I run them off on our printer when it's not making exhibits). The detail is really nice -you could probably code characters from these! (I am unreasonably pleased with how well they came out). We're planning on more exclusive merch like this.

So... the horribly inaccurate phylogenetic tree is their own damn fault, not AI? That doesn't make it better.

Interesting.
ChatGPT was used i the creation of cover art for a journal article. It was basically used as a filter to modify the researchers painting and to add little animals to give context to the brains.
I’ll agree this isn’t ai slop. Not sure what I think.

The Allende meteorite is a 4.5-billion-year-old time capsule. How do we read this ancient history? Join Museum Curator Denton Ebel as he reveals the key: chemical thermodynamics. It’s the same science that explains why it takes longer to boil pasta on a mountaintop than at sea level. Watch.👇

It was really fun working on this project as a consultant. Very much looking forward to watching it later (my 6yo is DESPERATE), and maybe seeing a couple of cameos of your's truly and @seismatters.bsky.social in the BTS bit at the end!
Years of work involving an amazing team at BBCSstudios Framestore AppleTV, our series #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge is out now on #AppleTV. Huge thanks to everyone involved. All 5 eps have been released!

The study provides the clearest genetic evidence yet that the common ancestor of octopuses and squids was more squid-like than previously thought.

It’s Trilobite Tuesday! Growing up to 6 in (15.2 cm) long, the sword-nosed Psychopyge is perhaps the most recognizable trilobite to have emerged from Morocco’s bountiful Devonian outcrops over the last four decades. Few species can rival this trilobite's renown or bizarre Paleozoic appearance.
