We went with the "lawnmower" analogy for Nigersaurus since it was an herbivore, but yup, I see toenail clipper, too.

Such great news! Always excited to hear about science being promoted in Athens and southeast Ohio. If you need help, give me shout!

Your book King Tyrant is outstanding…and remains so! I was reading it about the same time that I was reviewing the Z&N manuscript, and yes, I noted a few passages that would be impacted, but whatever. I recommended in my review that Z&N read & cite your book! It’s so well researched & well written!

Wow, do I ever agree! I get into some of this towards the end of my News & Views piece (rdcu.be/eNv94) but didn't have the space—and to your point, I'm not independent and not a sociologist. It would be a fascinating sociological study...elitism, ivory towers, etc.

No argument from me! I often run away from theropods and toward sauropods (we're about to submit a big sauropod manuscript)...but then I have to return to theropods because birds are theropods.
