Here's @LukeMuscutt talking #plesiosaurs and Flip the swimming plesiosaur robot. At the end of the day, Flip was introduced to #MaryAnning, a celebration of 200 years of plesiosaur knowledge and Mary's contributions :) 4/n

@sciwithrach @GrubbLab @MartinMeyerTBP Congratulations Dr Rach! Amazing work ^_^

[Luke Edward Muscutt @LukeMuscutt]

@JoschuaKnuppe Cool aesthetic, maybe I could take some notes for the next iteration of Flip

Good to see some friendly faces (and dinosaurs) at the 200 years of #Dinosaurs conference at the @NHM_London #200YrsDinos

This talk covers the work that I did during my doctoral research in Southampton, studying with @Bharath_Lab, @gabrielweymouth, @Colin7Palmer, Gareth Dyke, and @TetZoo. The plesiosaur robot would never have happened without them 🙏

If you would like some more information about the hydrodynamics of Pliosaurs as seen on #attenboroughandthegiantseamonster, check out my latest YouTube video, which is the talk I gave at #tetzoocon before introducing Flip.

@gimpasaura Thanks a lot Liz, it was such an unlikely turn of events! Still can't quite believe it's happened.

[Imperial College London @imperialcollege]

Did you catch Imperial featured in yesterday's 'Attenborough and the Giant Sea Monster' documentary on @BBCOne and @BBCiPlayer?

Meet the members of #OurImperial staff who made everything happen behind the scenes 🙌

What would you do if David Attenborough came to film your work?

Meet @LukeMuscutt, #OurImperial lab technician and plesiosaur expert!

His robotic reptiles will feature in tonight's 'Attenborough and the Giant Sea Monster' on @BBCOne and @BBCiPlayer 📺

[Luke Edward Muscutt @LukeMuscutt]

Nice to see some clips of the show on @BBCBreakfast
Looking forward to seeing the rest of it tomorrow at 8pm on @BBCOne

Between the robot plesiosaur, brilliant bird talks, #PrehistoricPlanet, and an appearance from @Nigelmarven, #TetZooCon was once again a lot of fun this year! https://t.co/QMiQ0s8fL3

[Luke Edward Muscutt @LukeMuscutt]

Flip is ready for the holidays in his @NHM_London festive jumper under the tree @imperialcollege. Now all he needs is a red nose and a sleigh 🦌🎄❄️

[Imperial College London @imperialcollege]

It's not every day a living legend drops by!

David Attenborough visited our wave lab to learn about prehistoric plesiosaurs. He met technician @lukemuscutt, who builds robots to find out how they swam 🌊

#TetZooCon @TetZoo: Any predecessors who have been especially influential? @LukeMuscutt: “It sounds like you paid me to say this, but you.” @EmilyJSwaby: @Dean_R_Lomax. @Dean_R_Lomax: Mary Anning, Judy Massare, Betsy Nichols. @LukeMuscutt also adds David Attenborough.

@DanePavitt2nd Sir David helping me with Flips first swimming lesson!

[Luke Edward Muscutt @LukeMuscutt]

Great stuff @NeilJGostling, really looking forward to seeing your work with @unisouthampton on the @BBCOne documentary!

[University of Southampton @unisouthampton]

We've been keeping a secret... 🤫

Earlier this year, Sir David Attenborough visited our @muVISxrayCT to film for his new @BBCOne documentary, airing 1 Jan 🎥

Our dino expert @NeilJGostling shares his experience of meeting Sir David 👇

Some sort-of-previews for my Ancient Sea #Reptiles, to be published early 2023 by @NHM_London. A book I've been trying to get published for decades: a well-illustrated tour of #Mesozoic marine #reptile diversity and history. Will be giving talks about the book during 2023.
