Hey all, it's been a while! Since pterosaurs seem quite popular right now, here's a Tapejara portrait that I've been working on when I've had the time.

My favourite #Paleontology books bring to life #fossils +folk who seek, dig and interpret them. This book puts meat on the bones of recent and unusual finds arranged by continent. I thoroughly enjoyed it. pictures great, index and references thorough-

@davejackson1954 Thanks for your kind words about my book! I really appreciate that. I’ve tried hard l to tell the fascinating stories of the people behind the discoveries, so I’m glad that that came across 🦕

1/2 🔬Last night at the launch I shared how years ago I was questioning my future in science.

By impulse I bought a copy of 2015 BASW. Weeks later at a panel some inspiring writers who I greatly admire/ respect signed it.

It is truly surreal to be editing the 2022 edition.

@ivyhish @newsouthpub Congrats Ivy! Good to see you yesterday 🥳

[Ivy Shih @ivyhish]

🎉It's here! Tonight's the official launch of @newsouthpub The Best Australian Science Writing and Bragg Prize!!

💚💗 So excited to see everyone and celebrate some of the most talented writers in science journalism and writing - and their amazing articles!!

[John Pickrell 🌈 @john_pickrell]

Hi @BBCWorld @BBCNews - this image isn’t of a shrew, as referenced in the article - it’s a tree shrew, which is a different kind of mammal.

I was asked by @sciencefocus to share my list of top five books about #mammals, and to explain the thinking behind my own #PlatypusMatters book. You don't have to be a mammal nerd already to enjoy them - they're for people interested in interesting things: https://t.co/zh0eAV4NXl
