Terrible Lizards: Nanotyrannus or not? The biggest news in palaeontology this year dropped just in time for us to miss it with last month’s episode but we’re giving it the full hour this time. The idea that there’s a miniature tyrannosaur ...

So we're slightly late to the party given that the big news dropped a month ago, but here's a full hour of the #TerribleLizards #Podcast where @iszi.com and I talk about #Nanotyrannus and what it all means for T. rex and tyrannosaur research going forwards. terriblelizards.libsyn.com/nanotyrannus

Terrible Lizards Terrible Lizards is a podcast about Dinosaurs with Dr David Hone and Iszi Lawrence.

One of the things my daughter and I love about your podcast is that you’re always willing to say “we don’t know” and you do a great job of explaining how so much of what is known about dinosaurs is educated guesswork, and how those guesses are based on evidence.

There’s not enough said about the air war in Korea and massive advantage the US had in pilot skill.

Things. About ice cream. And my books.

I’ll be very disappointed if no hamsters are in the show.

I think everyone that grew up watching Doctor Who in the 70’s and early 80’s would agree that story can easily trump iffy effects.

Terrible Lizards: TLS11E04 Curating Dinosaurs We have talked about all manner of fundamentals of research on fossils over the years here on Terrible Lizards, including finding and excavating fossils, writing and publishing papers, reconstructing ...

The people who put Trump in office are the same ones who made people like Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart millionaires.

It’s like they have a list of government employees and they’re letting a demented, drug addled monkey fling feces at the list to decide who they fire.
