I just realized I don’t have any non-neotherapsid synapsids in my library of illustrations for licensing, so in my warmup time today I started working in a reconstruction of one of my fav dinocephalians: the huge Anteosaurus. Here in a speculative display pose

Didn’t have time today until now but here it is. The sketch for Day 7 of the Carboniferous week. Spathicephalus (a baphettoid stem-tetrapod) about to gulp one of the two passing legless Acherontiscus (an adelospondyl stem-tetrapod), not it’s usual prey

How does the environment affect cell function? By applying osmotic shifts to fission yeast, et al. show that an increase in cytoplasmic concentration reduces microtubule polymerisation/depolymerisation rates!

I made a few skeletal illustrations for 's review of giant land animal locomotion. Patagotitan is just so ridiculously large and would not fit onto the figure at the same scale as all the others so the tail got chopped 🦕 https://t.co/4jy7ttMqFQ
