Calling environmentally-engaged artists and palaeoartists! I'm running an event on 12 August in London to think about collaborations around art, nature and deep time.

If you would like to take part as an artist, please fill in this form by 14 June: https://forms.office.com/e/C862sB6bnT

As an early release on Mastodon, here is a #PopPalaeo recorded talk from @john, discussing his recent book "A History of Painting - with Dinosaurs:" https://youtu.be/rhx75Jv5at8

If you were at the launch or TetZooCon, it is similar to the talk at that, but with added reflections on AI generated art.

And here is a link to buy the book - https://johnconway.art/a_history_of_painting

I probably ought to have announced this when we signed the contract a few months ago, but better late than never! (and today is #FossilFriday)

Currently getting initial drafts and reviews together for Palaeontology in Public: Popular Science, Lost Creatures and Deep Time, an edited volume building on the #PopPalaeo network

Still some way to go, but will eventually be open access and out with UCL Press. So stay tuned for this! Contents page below:

Next run of #PopPalaeo online sessions now finalized for the first half of 2023. Mammoths and other fossil mammals, dinosaur and evolutionary art, and geological time!

On various dates between February to June, at 17:00-18:30 UK time.

If anyone would like to come along to any of these, then drop me a message with your email address.

@ChrisManias I think I need to get involved in your #PopPalaeo network!

A belated #Introduction:

I'm a historian of science at King's College London. Current interests are in history of #palaeontology, #envhist and #museum history. Also history of #anthropology, #archaeology and #biology, especially as linked to race, colonialism & nationalism

And I run an interdisciplinary network called #PopPalaeo ( poppalaeo.com ), dealing with the place of paleo-sciences in public culture

Feed also likely to include various #animals and #plants
