    I'm always down to learn more about dinosaurs and paleontology! Very interesting stuff, thank you for sharing, boxer.

    “It’s important for people around the world to know that there is plenty more to learn from fossils,” Aureliano said. “We are not even close to being done with paleontological research,” stating that paleontology is currently in its “Golden Age.” He attributes the present-day “intellectual revolution” to a collective “effort to develop science around the world,” an effort, he said, that only improves with increased diversity and inclusion, as well as further global scientific investment.

    This was a nice highlight for me, and a nice bit of optimism that I could go for today. I very much enjoy the idea of a present-day intellectual revolution, and I'm glad to have read that.

      I've been a fan of dinosaurs since I was three or so.

      If you haven't heard of the animal point of view novel Raptor Red, you might enjoy it. It isn't great literature but it is a good story and my understanding is that the science behind the book is pretty good or at least was at the time it was written.

        Thank you so much for the recommendation! I'm looking into it now, it seems like something I'd have loved to read as a kid (and will enjoy just as much now). It's been a while since I've read a book from an animal point of view.
