Been chasing Brent to talk about his work for ages and he has such a cool career trajectory and involvement in various parts of palaeontology.

It's open to all Science and Engineering students, and it's all very informal and drop-in. But if you are a fellow academic, please share the news with your classes and if you are student, do come along.14 Sep 2026 09:10 +0000at://did:plc:fbtm4xksredi5wgom57nu46s/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvhrbfl4bs2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/davehone.bsky.social/post/3mvawhbuztc22I assume there's a new Chuck Tingle book coming about two burly fire fighters rescuing a President and then I don't want to know what the rest of the title would be.11 Sep 2026 15:54 +0000at://did:plc:fbtm4xksredi5wgom57nu46s/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvawhbuztc22https://bsky.app/profile/davehone.bsky.social/post/3mv5a76t7nc2sIs it submission season again?

Really quite similar in some ways but also partly parallel to this that I wrote a couple of months back: https://archosaurmusings.wordpress.com/2026/03/27/the-importance-of-basic-research/ [contains quote post or other embedded content]28 Aug 2026 17:07 +0000at://did:plc:fbtm4xksredi5wgom57nu46s/app.bsky.feed.post/3mu5tytzi2k2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/davehone.bsky.social/post/3mtxk4mz62c2fI have two papers of despair at the moment. No matter what we do with rewrites and edits and resubmissions they just get vaguely positive comments about the central idea and data with then suggestions to completely rewrite them. Worse, ususually one very positive and one very nagative review.26 Aug 2026 04:54 +0000at://did:plc:fbtm4xksredi5wgom57nu46s/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtxk4mz62c2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/davehone.bsky.social/post/3mtje4tpx6s2pClose to breaking the 100 review mark on Amazon for Spinosaur Tales with @markwitton.bsky.social. The only 2 reviews of 1 star are complain the book was damaged so I'm claiming 100% positive reviews. If you have read it, please give it a rating and review*, it really helps! *Unless you hated it.20 Aug 2026 13:30 +0000at://did:plc:fbtm4xksredi5wgom57nu46s/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtje4tpx6s2p
