The more forward-looking takeaway is that if you have to make a taller-than-wide figure to fit a journal page, consider making a wider-than-tall version at the same time to throw into your talks — or vice versa if you’re making the talk first. It’s a time investment for sure, ...
(Also, since making this figure 20 years ago, I’ve learned that the abdominal air sacs of ostriches are actually rather small, although the perirenal, femoral, and subcutaneous diverticula of the abdominal air sacs are extensive; see Bezuidenhout et al. 1999). Wedel and Cifelli (2005: fig...
Maybe someone who had a good grasp of them could do well here. Or maybe not. I'm not sure how easy it would ever be to predict exchange rates. There are just so very many factors to take into account. And even the most stable of countries still seems like it could be vulnerable to...

As you can see, the transformation of the neck is every bit as dramatic as that of the skull, as a slender animal optimised for pursuit grows into a total freakin’ monster. Someone ought to quantify this. I’m talking toyou, theropod workers! (We’ll be busy over here with sauropods...
Someone had already claimed the lions when we got there, so London picked hyenas as our totem animals. Lights out was at 10:30 PM, and the lights came back on at 7:00 this morning. Breakfast was out from 7:15 to 8:00, and then we had the museum to ourselves until the public ...
the story, and from there all hell broke loose, making our PR efforts entirely redundant (for the full story of that debacle gohere). It’s important for journalists to have access to a press release; it provides all the basic info (as well as a quantity of supplementary stuff that ...
5. Finally, atNatureandScience, your paper has to be soundandbe judged sexy — someone has to guess that it’s going to prove important and popular. Where along this continuum does the formal scientific record begin? We could make a case thatallof it counts, provided that measures are ta...
