I’d missed this sad news, noting the passing of Michael Waldman (obit by Elsa Panciroli here: theguardian.com/science/2025/a…). He discovered the Middle Jurassic sites on Skye that various teams have worked since & we named the Skye turtle Eileanchelys waldmani in his honour in 2009

Today marks 86th anniversary of the Nazi invasion of Poland, start of WWII in Europe, and systemic genocide of 6 million Polish citizens. Among them, academics and lifetime of research. Numbers are numbers, every digit represents a family member... an unfinished story...

Cool, I guess I have to post about palaeo fanboy losers again🙃 This channel (youtube.com/@JackCooperReal) is impersonating me. This is not me; I do not write like this or engage with the awful videos of these youtubers (one is a past harasser). Please report this channel. Thanks.

Just found out that Palaeontologist Sergei Mikhailovich Kurzanov passed away last June, for those who (like me) were unaware, he's the describer of Alioramus, Udanoceratops, Avimimus, Breviceratops and others.

A sad #FossilFriday with the news that legendary Mongolian dinosaur paleontologist Rinchen Barsbold passed away yesterday at the age of 90. I'm honored to have shaken his hand and more so to have coauthored with him twice, on Tarbosaurus and on Avimimus. R.I.P. Dr. Barsbold. 🦖

Just got word that the dean of Mongolian vertebrate paleontology, Rinchen Barsbold, passed away at age 90. A pivotal figure in the history of paleontology in his nation, and of the study of theropods.
