Published today in Biological Reviews: "New perspectives on body size and shape evolution in dinosaurs" - the biggest paper from my PhD (my favourite chapter, too). doi.org/10.1111/brv.70… Here's a thread outlining some of our key findings. (1/10)
I am one pub crawl away from making a very poor financial decision here.
Anyone got a few grand to spare? I didn't even like the movie *that* much, but this is glorious. I need it in my house.
