Rather sad that comes just after the passing of that doyen of trilobites, Richard Fortey. Iโm guessing the editorial might have been his last piece of scientific writing.

Really sad to report that our friend and colleague Richard Fortey passed away this morning after a short battle with cancer. Weโll all miss his wit and wisdom. Here he is checking out a dino footprint we found while filming together on the Isle of Wight

New OA paper just out in @RSocPublishing in which Xu Xing and I review the current state-of-play with respect to feather origins, highlighting areas of conflict and consensus and suggesting some (hopefully) constructive ways forward ๐ชถ๐ชถ๐ชถ

Also while on the subject, I was texted departure info on two different recent @British_Airways flights: one telling me my flight was due to leave an hour earlier and the other 45 mins earlier. Neither were (and both were actually delayed by 2+ hours).

Dear @British_Airways thanks for damaging my suitcase and giving me yet another reason to seek flights elsewhere. Two issues on this return trip on top of your back-handed Exec Club changes. Yours, a now thoroughly unimpressed Silver Exec Club Member.

Sad news, Dave was a gent ๐ฆ.
Some sad paleo news today: Dave Gillette, who named "Seismosaurus" (Diplodocus) hallorum, has passed away. Dave was an incredibly kind & generous individual, and he had a great impact on sauropod & Morrison Formation research. Dave, you will be greatly missed. ๐ฆ๐ข
