The Mesozoic ended in spring! The non-avian dinosaurs went extinct in spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Read all about it in our paper: @Nature @UU_University @VU_Science @esrfsynchrotron @RBINSmuseum @VUBrussel https://t.co/0Xqi24MEmd

I wanted to make something new for the kids, so I made Egyptian style Shrimp Fries, crispy potato sticks shaped like shrimp and stuffed with a little cheese and flavor. 🍤🥔 It’s one of those simple dishes that look fancy but come from almost nothing, just time and love. ❤️ The

Ik zou blij zijn met het verlies van Wilders en BBB als hun verloren zetels niet gewoon naar de onversneden nazi’s van het FvD en de achterbakse nazi’s van Ja21 waren gegaan. https://t.co/ErMnZ2dD8Z

This is Odesa’s Transfiguration Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site damaged by Russian missile attacks on Ukraine. The strikes have scarred some of the nation’s most treasured architectural landmarks, including many churches. Does Russia really deserve a place in @UNESCO?

If it weren't for Lindsay's hard work, grit, and determination, the Dueling Dinosaurs may never have made it to a museum collection. Our field owes her, and everyone who worked with her to bring these specimens into the public trust, a debt of gratitude.

As a scientist in the dinosaur ontogeny game for over 20yrs, I can say that most of my colleagues were skeptical of Nanotyrannus. Now the most outspoken critics buy it. Thrilled to see this incredible work out. Huge congrats to @ExpeditionLive & @JGN_Paleo https://t.co/czR1zOtZNk

After decades of fierce debate, researchers say fossils once thought to be juvenile T. rex actually belong to a separate, sleeker species of tyrannosaur.

Whew. A little thing happened today. Honored to have done this work with the outstanding @JGN_Paleo. I was a skeptic when I stepped into this, but no denying it #Nanotyrannus is valid. @JGN_Paleo and I left no stone unturned. And by the way, there are juvi T. rex, stay tuned...

Ik snap wel dat Timmermans opstapt. Kundige, fatsoenlijke man. Eigenlijk net als Kaag te groot voor Nederland. Maar geen aansprekende man in huidige politieke landschap.

Netanyahu heeft Gaza verwoest en is verantwoordelijk voor de dood van 65.000 Palestijnen. En Wilders steunt hem door dik en dun. Wij staan op en spreken ons uit. Wij kiezen voor solidariteit. Daarom staan wij op voor alle slachtoffers en tegen oorlogsmisdadigers. Samen vooruit.
