A petition to stop the dissolution of 'Geology' (including palaeontology) at the University of Leicester: https://c.org/PYDT54ynd2

"If the proposal goes ahead, many staff will lose their jobs, crucial research will be shut down, and the future of undergraduate degrees is in jeopardy."

Last Saturday night was a good night. I received the Lanzendorf - National Geographic PaleoArt Prize for Scientific Illustration at the 85th Annual Meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, in Birmingham, UK. A huge thanks to Vera Korasidis at the University of Melbourne for commissioning "Megaraptorian in Gippsland."
