Oh True. I remember that there are more Special issues with Morrison FM. Connection - all in the making/in the waiting

We both know how long this will
Take and we’re not even close..🥹 I mean I am still struggling to get my first contribution submitted

I am not the only one that had a rough year, so while suiting up for 2026 in the best armor I can get - please don’t loose hope, reach out when you are struggle, and thank
you for tagging along in this journey. See you soon!

Artworks I used are by @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social

Name dropping is something that I
always find difficult because I fear to exclude people or that it looks like to much of glazing.
Nevertheless, I want to thank all of the folks that I worked together with, shared some laughter and helped me regain hope when it was needed

I also continued with staying close to the people that welcomed me into academia, into scientific communication and into the world
of museums. One of these gave me actually a job that I have until
March next year and was the proof that my efforts are being
rewarded in time

However, one thing that I promised myself was to visit new people/ new museums
and reconnect with others. I met fantastic folks at smaller spots, visited at least three museums
for the first time and had some
wonderful days, I dare to say the best of the year.

While I had the honor to be CoAuthor in two papers (on diplodocoids and ornithomimosaurs) as guest researcher at the Universiy of Zurich, which I am absolutely thankful for, I wished that I could have done more.. but I couldn’t for several personal reasons - so I hope 2026 helps me more on that

I would invite you so that we could share dinosaur facts to everyone!

Can you give more details on the Quadrate? We are currently looking into that and we are not fully sure if that is from an allosauroid.

That’s a bloody shame. We can tell so much about Dodos and there are still some surprises to tell. Is it also because of the execs (like why we did not get hominids)?
