Here's a short film I recorded with @royalsociety about extinction, the evolution of gigantism, and the application of conservation palaeobiology, featuring @NHM_London's @Tweetisaurus: youtu.be/rjdHd-IafC0 🦥🐧🐍 @ES_UCL

Giants, like the 13m long snake 'titanoboa', have existed throughout history. But do they always go extinct? And can the fossil record help us preserve species today? @pdmannion and @Tweetisaurus explore gigantism and extinction: @NHM_London @ES_UCL youtube.com/watch?v=rjdHd-…

Tired of flattened early bird fossils? Today is your lucky day. Very happy to finally welcome 'Navaornis hestiae' to the world! It allowed us to see for the first time a (near)complete enantiornithine brain. Today in @Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… #spinningskull
