Vertebrate paleontology postdoc at IVPP. Dinosaur researcher but will settle for anything with a brain. All opinions are mine.

@victoriacoules @PaleoSoc It will be for a short, 16 day research trip while I am a postdoc at IVPP. Saying this, I will be based out of Southampton - though there will be a few potential trips made.

[Logan King @Logan_Rex_]

Oh, I completely forgot to announce that I will be returning to the UK in the near future (TBD) thanks to being awarded the Norman Newell Early Career grant from @PaleoSoc! Please dust off your skulls and warmup your CT scanners accordingly.

The struggle is extra real for some. We see you out there! My PhD was in English and I still had no idea what I was doing some days.

[Hugh Kearns @ithinkwellHugh]

Every day I am in awe of international students. Doing a PhD in your native language and home country is hard. Doing it in a non-native language, in a different country and different culture is so much harder. You are not stupid. You are legends.

@slothgirlmel On the one hand, I see what you mean. On the other hand, I feel like this was talking about me specifically.

"Palaeontologists are not, on the whole, a dazzlingly photogenic bunch" ... I beg to differ

Shoutout to my former intern's (Damiano Landi) #TopDownloadedArticle "Testing for a dietary shift in the Early Cretaceous ceratopsian dinosaur Psittacosaurus lujiatunensis" in the journal Palaeontology.

Not too bad for a first paper!

@EricMetz @slothgirlmel Girl, same

[Logan King @Logan_Rex_]

As I've always said, when you find a dinosaur in the American Southeast it will be both rare and weird. This one happens to also be stupidly large, too. Great work!

@TomHoltzPaleo @ausar_the ......I kind of really want to CT scan it

[Logan King @Logan_Rex_]

@tweetodontosaur Help me write a NERC/Leverhulme/1851/etc application and I will happily do a postdoc back in the UK. We will call it the "Oh god why" tour.

I am about 1000% sure I do not know anyone that is directly impacted by the ongoing conflict, buuuuuuuuuut if YOU do.....

@TomHoltzPaleo Was some kind of Procrustes analysis (or something similar; I'm far from a shape guru) used?

If yes, I'm out of good ideas already.

@vinfernand @ButlerLabBham @VTechmeetsPaleo @JoaoVascoLeite This video straddles "outstanding science" and "now you're just showing off".

And I'm here for every second of both. Great job!

[Logan King @Logan_Rex_]

@LeahM_Foster I do one well and the other poorly. Which is which depends on Reviewer 2's opinion on any given paper.

[Logan King @Logan_Rex_]

Oh hey, an internship opportunity! https://t.co/KzluByR9ym

@Kimi_Chap @AMNH Of course there is; TWO cupboards filled with fossils!
