“There was a big push to not be known as the dinosaur museum,” said one laid-off worker. That shift came with a cost, ex-staffers say.

Until it is accompanied by an actual plan, concrete action, transparency, and a process that meaningfully incorporates public input we see no reason to treat the University’s statements as evidence that any of the underlying problems have been or will be resolved. save-the-academy.org/statement.html

#FossilFriday this week is brought to you by the paratypes of #Edrathina from the #InnerMeadow lagerstätte. Both #Ediacaran aged fossils have fallen atop #rangeomorph fossils meaning part of the calyx of both was not impressed onto the seafloor. This kind of evidence suggests an upright life habit.

A long-necked dinosaur walks along a shallow river surrounded by various Jurassic trees, ferns and shrubs. A small predatory dinosaur watches from the nearest riverbank.

Progress on the Oertijdmuseum Edmontosaurus "Monty". Finally uncovered the overlapping tendons on our first block! Nice to see how articulated the bones are on this side. We have most of the skeleton, but it's in such hard boulders it will take a few more years to finish.

What she said.
In a world where a widespread understanding of most science is a constant battle, the goal is often to communicate broad concepts, rather than gritty details. I feel success as a natural history educator if a person walks away understanding three things: first, the Earth is exceptionally old; second, evolution is real; and third, humans are new to this planet and our impact on it in this short time has been extraordinary. Everything else—such as the precise swimming speed of a mosasaur, the exact position of a clade on a phylogenetic tree......or the proper anatomical details of a theropod wrist—is in the grand scheme of public engagement, secondary.

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 02: Diplocaulus With its boomerang head, it’s pretty iconic. We’re not sure how its skin covered that strange head, but since salamanders aren’t exactly the brightest, I like the reconstructions that avoid sharp corners that would get caught on roots lol
