Blogs
Many amateur enthusiasts, students as well as professional palaeontologists blog about their research and experiences. Here are a few blogs of note:
Fish Feet
Sarda Sahney of the University of Bristol writes a light hearted and accessible blog about evolution, biodiversity, palaeontology, conservation and
current controversies.
Hairy Museum of Natural History
Matt Celeskey created the HMNH to lend a winking level of credibility to his various projects and research. The HMNH strives to be a knotted tangle of experiments, art, and chicanery.
Laelaps
Laelaps is the blog of Brian Switek, a 5th-year undergraduate at Rutgers
University studying ecology & evolution. Here you'll find ramblings and the occasional asinine assertion involving evolution, intelligent design/creationism, conservation, cryptozoology.
Palaeoblog
Michael Ryan, a scientist at The Cleveland Museum of Natural History writes Palaeoblog about all things palaeo. Ryan is best known for his recent discovery of a new horned dinosaur, named Albertaceratops nesmoi, from the Late Cretaceous Period.
Raptor's Nest
Manabu Sakamoto is a palaeontologist at the University of Bristol who blogs about dinosaurs and their relatives.
Tetrapod Zoology
With six years of tedious PhD work on theropod dinosaurs behind him,
Darren Naish stares longingly from his office window at the birds
outside and wonders: why did I bother? He pursues exotic lizards and
feral cats across the British countryside, aims to publish his
technical work on obscure Cretaceous dinosaurs, and hopes that his life
will change now that he might have a proper job.
This Life's a Fiction
Graeme Lloyd is the founding member, president elect and entire membership
of SWEMP (the Society of Wonky-Eyed Macroevolutionary
Palaeobiologists). In his spare time he pretends to do a PhD at the
University of Bristol, UK and thinks about the really big questions in
life, such as: What is the ultimate nature of reality? Why is there no
room for free will in science? and What are the implications of having
a wardrobe that consists entirely of hotpants? |
