I have a terrible confession. I'm working my way through the 1987-89 episodes of Dr Who featuring Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor and - while there are some dud stories - I think it's fantastic. Like, it's my favourite Who material. Saw it when it was on in the 80s but haven't revisited since.

Introducing Xenovenator espinosai, a new troodontid dinosaur with some fascinating cranial anatomy. I had the honour of being approached to create the illustration for this week’s official announcement. (1/3) #SciArt

Our new paper is out! By reconstructing 320 million years of reptile body armour evolution, we settled a century-old debate. Along the way, we found that monitor lizards broke Dollo’s Law in an unparalleled comeback. Check out our article in The Conversation for more: doi.org/10.64628/AA....

Just like every year, a friendly PSA:
“Feliz ano nuevo” means “happy new anus.”
“Feliz año nuevo” means “happy new year.”
Wishing folks either one is nice, but make sure you’re using the one you mean.

will also add - yes, this is my personal crusade - that turning podcasts into videos implicitly asks women to once again make more effort than men, as the bar for "camera-ready" for one gender is obviously higher than for the other

All in all, I think these two make for a fun Christmas double-feature if you are hankering for a way to end the year! Just be sure to watch The Journey North first so you don’t have to finish on a downer. Next up, hopefully not too long from now, Island of Giants! (60/60)

I also think this episode has some of the coolest fossil finds, including the incredible Deadfall site which has yielded lots of Edmontosaurus material, as well as the trace fossil of a flood event, ‘a fossilized wave’. (59/60)

Before we close out 2025, here is Walking with Dinosaurs thread number 4 (and a bit) – this time, The Pack, my personal favourite episode. It follows the young Albertosaurus Rose as she faces the trials and tribulations of the ancient Horseshoe Canyon– will she succeed? (1/60)
