Today was a huge milestone! Gave my first oral presentation at a conference! Presenting research that combined my passions for hadrosaurs (Edmontosaurus literally my favourite dinosaur lol), palaeobotany + palynology was a dream come true. So very grateful to my supervisors 🌿

The trio for my ‘polar collection’ is now complete! However, I thought I would try a different background with this hadrosaur getting caught in the rain ☔️

Ecology makes clear: there is no stability without diversity!

Something that I don't think is discussed enough in #paleontology circles is just how much parental investment is seen in #hadrosaurs. Cause, like, they're doing quite a lot of work compared to what is typical of all other #archosaurs.

Better late than never! Last week was my first time attending #PalAss2024 and it was an absolute dream come true talking to so many different people many of whom I’ve read books of or read countless of papers from! Can’t wait to go again next year! Might have something good in the pipeline for it ;)

Published today ... our study of predatory dinosaur diversity in the Lower Cretaceous Hastings Group of the Wealden. New data on one of the oldest Cretaceous dinosaur assemblages, revealing new spinosaurid, tyrannosauroid and dromaeosaurid lineages ... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #dinosaurs

No better day than #FossilFriday to give a Paleo Talk to 6th graders! Their creativity and fascination inspires me again and again. Seeing their eyes light up at fossils like a T. rex tooth cast reminded me why I love paleontology—and the importance of inspiring future scientists! ❤️‍🩹🦕🦖

Millions of years in a single photograph. Rock density, waves, wind and currents all affected the formation of this sea stack as well. #Geology

Ok, so the news is still new. I have a new paper out today naming a cool new pterosaur: Skiphosoura bavarica (Bavarian sword-tail), from the Late Jurassic of Southern Germany. The full paper is here with all the info: www.cell.com/current-biol...

On 29.11., I’ll be giving a talk introducing 6th graders to the field of paleontology—a topic very close to my heart! I really want to make it fun and memorable for them, so I’d deeply appreciate any advice or tips from those with experience :)

Introduction time! I’m an evolutionary anatomist and vertebrate paleontologist teaching medical gross anatomy as an assistant professor. I do research on craniofacial anatomy and function in herbivorous dinosaurs, dicynodonts, and elephants. I also recently wrote a book on Dinosaur Feeding Biology!

As @podokesauruspro.bsky.social has named us, the growing Bluesky paleo community shalled be called "PaleoBS".

Fellow PaleoBSers, sound off here so we can find each other!

Just made the switch from X to BlueSky, so here’s a quick intro! I’m a British-German paleontology undergrad at the University of Münster. Wrapping up my degree next semester, focusing on paleoecology of Mesozoic vertebrates, esp. derived ornithopods and amber. Hoping to post here more regularly! :)
