I went sleep way too late and it’s all @iszi.com fault. I picked up my kids copy of her book The Cursed Tomb thinking I would just have a quick look. At 1:40am I finally put it down having devoured it cover to cover!

@davehone.bsky.social @iszi.com - Listened to an old Terrible Lizards 🦖 episode this morning, which mentioned Pablo Eskobear, of course it did. It sounded hilarious, so I had a Google. It turns out there's a film about him. Did you know this? What a way to start the day!

So we're slightly late to the party given that the big news dropped a month ago, but here's a full hour of the #TerribleLizards #Podcast where @iszi.com and I talk about #Nanotyrannus and what it all means for T. rex and tyrannosaur research going forwards. terriblelizards.libsyn.com/nanotyrannus
Terrible Lizards: Nanotyrannus or not?
The biggest news in palaeontology this year dropped just in time for us to miss it with last month’s episode but we’re giving it the full hour this time. The idea that there’s a miniature tyrannosaur ...

As I got older I moved on, keeping only a mild interest. Enough to watch Walking with Dinosaurs and other documentaries but not much more. That was until this year, when I stumbled upon the fantasric #TerribleLizards podcast presented by @davehone.bsky.social and @iszi.com. I back in, in a big way.

I always struggle with clothes shopping partly because I’m huge for a woman and partly because I secretly desire to look like a 12th century warrior monk.
