We like to believe that we are rational when assessing risks, whether that applies to seat belts or climate change. But our decisions are strongly influenced by our emotions, and not simply by facts. On Big Picture Science, it’s “Skeptic Check: Feeling Risky.”
In 2008 I painted (acrylic on card) a few dinosaur portraits for the cover of DINOSAUR HUNTER magazine, by Hachette. This was peak "awesomebro" for me and it began the process of an important stylistic change, but more about that another day. This is a monster-like Pachyrhinosaurus.

The 2008 book, A TIME TRAVELLER'S FIELD NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS OF DINOSAURS; I'm posting a few more of my illustrations (it is a fictional story, so be prepared for plenty of inaccuracies). Here is a juvenile Brachiosaurus.

In this week's #SETILive, Beth Johnson chatted with Dr. Bonnie Teece about her initial analysis of microbial traps left on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean near Axial Seamount and what they could mean for our search for life beyond Earth, especially involving ocean worlds like Europa and Enceladus.

This month, two teams of astronomers announced the potential discovery of Dyson spheres in our galaxy. But have we truly found indicators of highly advanced civilizations? Join Dr. Franck Marchis and Dr. Lauren Sgro as they delve into these groundbreaking findings and their implications for SETI research.

The newly detected 51-Sagittids shower reported last year from Global Meteor Network observations was visible in single night CAMS ( http://cams.seti.org/ ) data for May 14/15, 2024. The shower appears to be a weak annual shower from a yet-to-be-discovered long-period comet. The shower was also detected by CAMS in prior years.
