200 mile charity bike ride complete! The Nuvia team cycled from our Milton Park office in Oxfordshire to our office in Manchester, raising over £3000 for Macmillan. As you can see, I had an amazing companion!

Beautiful rainbow in Amsterdam! Unfortunately, the photo doesn't do the vivid colours justice. What a lovely and friendly city, with an amazing history and vibrant culture.

I am so sorry... I have no words for this level of insanity. Or the fear so many amazing American people must be living in.

I am amazed that it was sufficiently recognisable! And relieved that you don't see it as an insult.

It was an absolutely gorgeous model - I was mesmerised by the detail and striking pattern, so I snapped a photo, hoping that I could try drawing something dinosaury!

Thank you for your kindness!

Thank you for your kind words! I am encouraged to keep trying 😃

It was fun to attempt, guided by the beautiful model at the work shop.

I love this! It is so cool to use black paper 😀

And thank you for your kind comment! I shall keep practicing and see what happens 😃

*le sigh* Inspired by the art workshop for beginners at @dinoconuk.bsky.social and the enthusiasm of @jamespascoe.bsky.social, an attempt has been made to draw something that looks nearly, but not quite entirely, unlike a dinosaur. 😐

Practice makes progress.. Hopefully!

It is kinda poignant that you have had to point out which one is which... 😔

Yes sir, yes I do!

I shall drag my husband to the next one too!

Thank you! What an amazing journey! Now I am hoping to engage with the wonderful Brian Pickles to see if there is a way to expand my research from Archaeology to Palaeontology! Watch this space 😊

Congratulations!

Well done on your amazing strength and determination!

Dr Victoria Robinson @victoria-robinson.bsky.social · Aug 19

Congratulations! I look forward to it!

P.s. thank you for wishing me luck on my PhD, when you signed my book at the NHM. It worked 😊

Please keep posting! Otherwise we miss out on good news! Like your new podcast or the latest on flappy-flap-bum-flaps. You know... important things!

The vibe is entirely more wholesome on Blue-sky - much like your reason for posting.

Thank you so much! I shall treasure my beautiful print of the Qianzhousaurus.

You are incredibly talented, and I am sure the print doesn't even come close to reflecting the many years behind its creation.

Thank you so much for your engaging palaeoart session today! I wish I could have stayed for the whole thing... but... Matt Wedel lecture...!

I remain inspired, and will continue practicing!

MASSIVE thank you to the amazing organisers, speakers, artists, stall holders and fellow attendees at @dinoconuk.bsky.social! It has been an amazing two days - my brain is at capacity! I have come away having learned lots, inspired to learn more, and generally in awe of the artworks. #dinoconUK

Walking along Shotover Country Park and saw a molehill being formed!

Dr Victoria Robinson @victoria-robinson.bsky.social · Aug 2

I wish they would stop with the mutants and put more effort into showing us more dinosaurs! There are *so many* that are mysterious, beautiful, quirky and REAL!!!

I know it wouldn't fit story quite so well, but still... it would be better.

Graduation adventures at the @uniofreading.bsky.social @unirdg-phd.bsky.social . I have loved every moment of this PhD journey, meeting incredible people and learning a huge amount along the way. I am a bit sad now that this chapter has concluded, but am excited to see what the next one brings!

Cornwall adventures - a beautiful part of the world. Although the sea definitely scares me a bit!
