I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Out in @nature.com today, we shake up the ornithischian family tree. Remember those weird Late Cretaceous iguanodontians, the rhabdodontids? Well they're weird because they aren't iguanodontians. They're ceratopsians. Well, at least some of them are... www.nature.com/articles/s41...
A hidden diversity of ceratopsian dinosaurs in Late Cretaceous Europe - Nature
New results indicate that rhabdodontids and the previously described Ajkaceratops are actually distinctive European ceratopsians, a group better known from Asia and North America.

A shake-up of the dinosaur family tree! Rhabdodontids are not ornithopods. They are ceratopsians.
There were horned dinosaurs in Europe! As shown by a new fossil of Ajkaceratops from Hungary!

A HAPPY FISHMAS TO ALL‼️
OTD, in 1938, museum official Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer saw a beautiful blue & white lobe-finned fish in a boatman friend’s catch.
This odd specimen, later named Latimeria chalumnae in her honor, was found to be a member of a taxon long thought extinct: The Coelacanths.

A few years ago, Bill Nye the science guy debated creationist Ken Ham about evolution. The last question was "what would change your mind?"
Bill Nye said "Evidence."
Ken Ham said "Nothing can possibly change my mind about this."
I think about that a lot.

Steady state theory of evolution does not reflect the history of life. I am more a fan of reticulate evolution. Things go well, populations expand and gene pool diversifies and given a crisis gene pool diversity and populations contract... www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
