Amazing chance to share what I have been doing for my research in @ProgPal2023 with other paleo people. Lots of incredible talks, amazing field trip and great new friendships. My congratulations to @Sketchy_raptor @SamRRCross and @apwoodbailey 🤘🤘🤘

Finally got back from @ProgPal2023 , and man what a fun time it was! I was able to get the awesome diplodocus art piece back safe and sound, though this won’t be its final destination 🦕 I’ll be posting more progpal pics in the next few days.

Giving my talk @ProgPal2023 on the oral cone of one of my favourite animals of the Cambrian Explosion, Pambdelurion,; the loathsome gilled lobopod of Greenland’s Sirius Passet.

[Dr Matt Dempsey @Sketchy_raptor]

I can't think of a better way to end ProgPal 2023 than comparing gross dissection stories over drinks with @skpevsner, @OsteoSophia, @HoudzGeorge, and @quantumlandbook. Animals are messed up, man.

[Aaron Quigley 🦖 @AaronQuigley11]

First conference talk completed! 💪🏼Thanks to everyone @ProgPal2023 for your questions throughout the conference, looking forward to talking about melanosomes again in the near future! 🐸🦎 🦆 🦊 #progpal #progpal2023 #palaeontology

The group photograph from today's Llandudno away day - the weather was great, the geology was rocky, and the chips were divine.

[Dr Matt Dempsey @Sketchy_raptor]

Co-chairing ProgPal '23 with @SamRRCross & @apwoodbailey has been one of the highlights of my career. I can't imagine a better team. And we've had a great time meeting all the attendees and learning about their research. It's my final ProgPal, so I'm a bit emotional this evening!

[Progressive Palaeontology 2023 @ProgPal2023]

Huge congratulations to the winners of this year's @thePeerJ supported prize winners!

Where does the Hypsilophodon sleep?

Had a fantastic time today talking about my favourite topic and the joy of sedimentary rocks at @ProgPal2023

Massive thanks to the organisers, it was fab!

Having so much fun at @ProgPal2023 !!! I won this beautiful Diplodocus artwork during the auction by @Sketchy_raptor !!

[Progressive Palaeontology 2023 @ProgPal2023]

As the main event comes to a close, we want to thank our amazing ProgPal attendees. The quality of the presentations this year was exceptional, and we've been thrilled to host you over the these last few days.

The weather is looking pretty good for tomorrow's field day, too! ☀️

[Dr Paul M. J. Burke @palaeoburke]

a pleasure talking at @ProgPal2023 today at my undergraduate university! 🐊

[Meghan Jenkinson @Palaeo_Meghan]

Thank you Liverpool and @ProgPal2023 it's been great! Sad I don't get to see any of the talks tomorrow and I didn't even get to ride Scouse Space Mountain, but maybe next time 😉
