Our newest #ScienceCommunication editorial focuses on a new paper that constructed a fully OA, reusable dataset on sauropod DMTA - a case study of our recent transition to an Open & FAIR data policy! 🦕 doi.org/10.1080/08912963.202… Read the original paper: doi.org/10.1080/08912963.202…

Excited to report that @ScrippsJSchool journalism student Eric Boles published his master's thesis research (which I helped supervise) on aspects of news coverage of paleo in the 1990s in @HistBiol: bit.ly/41VMS4e. Also elicited an editorial: bit.ly/4spzQH9! 🦖

For #FossilFriday, we're paying tribute to fossils from the incredible work of our deputy editor-in-chief, Dr Hans Sues, who sadly passed away last weekend. This photo of him includes a cast of a Brontosaurus skull, a 20 m sauropod, from the Smithsonian where he worked 🦕(1/6)

Lastly, we have Pappochelys, which Hans called one of his favourite fossils. This diaspid reptile's discovery suggests turtles should also be considered diaspids. This critter, described by Hans in 2015, could thus be a stem turtle 🐢 Paper: nature.com/articles/nature14… (5/6)

Hans left a huge mark in the field of palaeontology. He is well remembered by peers & enthusiasts for his thorough work & jolly sense of humour. He will be dearly missed by friends & colleagues at Historical Biology & beyond. Our thoughts are with his family at this time. (6/6)
