Looking forward to the last day of Paleofest 2026! Everyoneβs been so dang nice and friendly so far
@paleeoguy.bsky.social with some refreshing proactive problem-solving proposals for improving and formalizing paleo field and lab skills training.
#PaleoFest2026
#PaleoFest2026 continues to reinforce how CT scanning technologies are revolutionizing paleontology research. We desperately need to make this technology more accessible to more researchers without such prohibitive associated financial costs!
I'll show you a pronated palm! Lol
A trove of nearly 3,200 disclosure records, which ProPublica made public this week, reveals a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate.
These are not "T. rex hands", these are "N. lethaeus" hands! Posing with Jane at the Burpee Museum.
At the Burpee Museum of Natural History #PaleoFest2026 this weekend visiting Jane and all the scientists, some of our former staff, and even a couple Sternberg Camps students in attendance!
At @jgn-paleo.bsky.social opening talk for #PaleoFest2026. There's a certain poetry that a large part of the evidence for Nanotyrannus' validity involved it giving us all the finger.
This year I've read Simon Sinek's Leaders Eat Last and Start With Why (SWW was the better of the two, IMO) and am now moving on to some youth development psychology with Dr. Becky Kennedy's book Good Inside.
Got book recs for helping develop better leaders and young scientists? Drop 'em below!
Damnit, is this guy just a different flavor of Fetterman?
Arrest them.
we dont have the money for universal health care but we have tons of money for concentration camps and a surveillance society

This is an interesting story @nytimes.com
It was even more interesting when I broke it a week and a day ago in The Intercept which you did not cite or mention.
One of the world's biggest funders of palaeontology is Epstein's buddy George Church (he founded the $10 billion USD "de-extinction" company Colossal). Many palaeontologists work for Church on: mammoth, dire wolf, dodo, thylacine, moa, etc.: edition.cnn.com/2026/02/19/p...
Hi. I love you all so much, but I donβt have the time or bandwidth to have individual meeting with people on how to start your own science non-profit.
My advice is: 1) hire someone with experience, 2) hire a very good lawyer, 3) resist the pressure to tone down your mission.

Policies and cultures that fail to engender trust, safety, and equity amongst our most vulnerable absolutely must be overhauled to meet the reality we find ourselves in. If we are not prioritizing the security of our entire community to flourish over the whims of the powerful, then we are failing our future.
This is a post about the United States, and academic paleontology.
We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city βsweepsβ to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.
