Very honoured to have been a contributing scientist to the new #megafauna documentary by ABC Australia which is now live on #ABCiview. The production team and the scientists are wonderful. Very highly recommend watching the new series Megafauna: what killed Australia's giants?

For anyone wanting to teach or learn about Australia's natural history, this is a great educational resource with some amazing artwork! The team at ABC Education has done a brilliant job

Very excited to see this!

Thanks Isaac Kerr ! Of course, we will never know how it looked. Starting with what we know and building up from there, I love the process of discovery. As we come to understand more, I am sure the picture will develop. Thanks ABC Science for being so keen to hear my take!

Got a lovely gift from Michael Mills at Dinosaur University 🦖🦕 today. The logo I drew for the Palaeo Jam podcast on a mug! Michael interviews an amazing range of scientists on the podcast so make sure to check it out if you love all things Palaeo
