I made an infographic for this very reason!

Every year I encourage my viewers to print it out for their Thanksgiving turkey dinner, Christmas goose feast, Boxing Day budgie buffet, or any other ritual when people gather to dismember bird carcasses. I'm not a meat eater, but I try not to judge
"YOUR TURKEY IS A DINOSAUR" infographic, featuring the skeletons of a Velociraptor and turkey, helpfully labelled with osteological features which turkeys (and all birds) inherited from their theropod ancestors. It's grayscale for easy printing at home!

It's good to be home.

My poster on #Twitch paleontology livestreams is now up at #2025SVP!

Come find me upstairs to talk about how YOU can live stream your fieldwork to audiences around the world (and supercharge your outreach and fundraising in the process). If I can do it, you can too 💪🏽

Happy #FossilFriday! Here's an *enormous* ichthyosaur skull from the Triassic of Nevada, USA. This one might be a new species?

I was lucky enough to see this at an awesome temporary ichthyosaur exhibit at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno a couple months ago. Highly recommended
Photo of a HUGE ichthyosaur skull. It's sitting on some sand on the floor, with a particleboard barrier behind it — simple and low-cost display infrastructure, but it really works well in this exhibit

It's our LAST STREAM for two weeks, since I'm departing for the UK and #SVP2025 tomorrow! Tune in now for #Paleontology Q&A, a discussion of why scientific conferences are important, and then our usual Thursday BIRDSday festivities

Hopefully we won't have *too* many feline eclipses on today's #Twitch stream, especially since we'll be interviewing @fbertpaleo.bsky.social about his new hadrosaur mating evidence paper.

Join us @ twitch.tv/paleontologizing for live Q&A, paleontological discussion and science camaraderie

It's a Paleontologizing #Halloween special today! We'll be applying a paleontological perspective to the 'Loch Ness Monster' legend — and talking about a *real life* aquatic monster reptile which plies the Earth's oceans even now 👀

Join us @ twitch.tv/paleontologizing for paleo chat & camaraderie

We're now starting our FIRST EPISODE of 'The Fossil Finders,' a new series with @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social

and we're interviewing @doublebeam.bsky.social, sauropod & pachycephalosaur expert — and also an old friend of mine — about his fieldwork adventures!

Tune in @ twitch.tv/paleontologizing

We're having a chill #TurtleTuesday stream on Twitch today, with additional discussion of Liaoningosaurus (they're juveniles!) and whatever else chat wants to talk about.

I got to hag out with some fellow educational streamers (who happen to be my favorite people on Twitch), like @kaseysnow.bsky.social, @ipaintbirbs.bsky.social, and @sciantsmedia.com

I was given a special seat for the TwitchCon opening ceremony — and here's the 'DinoDance' emote on screen, which I thought was worthy of a photo. I might be doing something cool and paleontology-related with that sometime soon...

Some of those perks were made plainly obvious, though

There were quite a few special perks on offer to a new 'ambassador' — rideshare vouchers, meals, special passes — which I was completely oblivious to for most of the week. I was a lot like Homer here
A limousine driver holds up a sign reading "SIMPSON," while oblivious Homer, leading his family past the limo, says "Look, Marge, that guy has the same last name we do" and then hails a taxi instead

It also means I got to fly out to San Diego for this year's TwitchCon to participate in all kinds of special events

#TwitchCon 2025 last week was a blast — hanging out with other scientist streamers, talking with Twitch staff, and meeting Paleontologizing viewers for the first time — and I'm just now getting a chance to sit down and post some photos. Let me show you what I got up to 👀

...and here's how the vaquita looked after @kaseysnow.bsky.social painted on the face!

Kasey was able to carry around this adorable critter for the whole convention, sparking *tons* of conversations about the vaquita's plight. I'm so proud to have been part of this!

Okay, here's the vaquita (partly painted!) here in the hotel room at #TwitchCon

I just did a front-lobby hand-off to @kaseysnow.bsky.social, so she'll be painting on the porpoise's face. Can't wait to see it finished!
