A bribe from Rutgers?
Posted from Laelaps 14 days ago
Dinosaurs! : Dinosaurs
When I received my financial aid information for the upcoming semester at Rutgers I was dismayed to find out that I would primarily have to take out loans to attend classes. During a year in which I'll have to pinch a few more pennies I also received less grant money, only about $800, so my options ... (original story)

Dinosaurs! : Dinosaurs
I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I thought I would during last weekend's trip to New York, but fortunately Bora (resident shutterbug here at Sb) has been posting lots of snapshots from the festivities. I also had the pleasure of meeting John Pieret on Saturday afternoon, and here's the photo... (original story)

Amphicyon Welcome to the 22nd edition of The Boneyard, marking the long-awaited return of the blog carnival all about paleontology. Much has happened since the last iteration, so there's plenty of new blogospheric specimens to peruse; Are there different "rules" of classification at work for fo... (original story)

Dinosaurs! : Dinosaurs
There are few things more satisfying than being able to get back to original papers, letters, and articles to discover something new. Even though I could conceivably write a solid chapter based upon reviews and popular accounts I feel that reading original source materials is not only important for ... (original story)

There are few things that make me as happy as being able to find an elusive reference or seemingly ephemeral bit of information, and this afternoon I am smiling. After almost giving up I have been able to locate Richard Harlan description of Basilosaurus, reprinted in his book Medical and Physical R... (original story)

I try to be careful when using the term "ignorant." The dictionary definition could apply to anyone who is "unlearned" or "uneducated" in a particular area, i.e. I am nearly completely ignorant when it comes to quantum physics. I have always felt that the common usage of the term is more charged, ho... (original story)

Dinosaurs! : Dinosaurs
After many false starts, breaks, and dead ends, I'm finally nearing the completion of at least one chapter of the book. I still am not entirely sure how I'm going to end it and I still have some details to fill out, but there appears to be a good chance that I'm going to finish the chapter on whale ...

Growing up I spent a fair amount of time watching cheesy b-movies, mostly "revenge of nature" stuff. There was the walking commentary on the a-bomb known as Godzilla, the parable about dumping biomedical waste in Alligator, a mercury-created walking salami in The Prophecy, and many others, but the t...
