Symposium on Vertebrate Palaeontology and Comparative Anatomy 2022, being held at the Natural History Museum, London. Lead organiser: @tweetisaurus; #SVPCA2020
Well that's it for the formal part of #SVPCA2022! We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did. See you at the dinner tonight and field trips tomorrow!
We're now watching a prerecorded talk by Sophia C Anderson on shape analysis of bovid humeri. The sound quality is excellent. It's as if Sophia is invisible.

In my natural habitat today, surrounded by many old ichthyosaur friends at the @NHM_London.
Despite studying these beautiful fossils many times over the past decade, you never lose that "wow factor" walking in this gallery.
The Palaeontographical Society is proud to sponsor @svpca2020.
There has been some great talks and posters this week.
Well done to everyone involved.

Yay, first in-person conference in years! So many great talks & posters at the @svpca2020 at the @NHM_London 🤩. Check out our poster on drivers of Old World monkey and ape evolution during the Miocene 🐒🤓🌍 - it's still up! Work with @robinmdbeck @mareikecora & Fabien Condamine
Hard but important truths for palaeontology from @anjgoswami in her @svpca2020 keynote. Diversity in palaeo is terrible and is not improving, esp at senior levels. Acknowledge this, be aware of your biases, actively consider who you collaborate and interact with. White women too.
In 2019, we 3D scanned the Mantellisaurus holotype, and the scans are now freely available on morphosource. @NatGeoUK wrote this great article on the project: https://t.co/mViK0OWDsz and look out for @palaeojoe's forthcoming monograph on the skeleton in PalSoc Monographs #nhmdino
Our logo references the architecture of the NHM's historic Waterhouse building and the skeleton of the holotype of Mantellisaurus atherfieldensis, one of the most complete dinosaurs ever found in the UK. The logo was designed by @PaleoStu https://t.co/uP2Ndxm8Wo
NEW: FREE Pre-conference online workshop on bias and decolonizing palaeontology! Monday 19th September, 1pm, led by @CassCretaceous. Please contact Cass for joining details!
