Introducing the Raptor's Nest

Manabu Sakamoto is Yet Another Brit Based Paleontologist that I have come across as of late via Fish Feet. He has a blog about his research, things related to his research, and other things paleo (including some very nice dinos he's drawn). It's well worth reading.

Hi. Thank you for the introduction. I wasn't really expecting anything like this but its an honour. At least now I know someone's reading my blog;)

You're welcome.

Once upon-a-time, I was planning on being a paleo type myself. My folks had a hard time getting me to draw people: I would only draw dinosaurs and other paleo critters. It actually really worried them! However, growing up in Los Alamos, I was lured away by astronomy and physics...and later computers, especially the really, really fast ones. In the process I found I like to do a lot of, well, everything and I'm not bad at it.

I still read a fair amount of paleo stuff out of interest, and I'd like to participate some, especially where it intersects with my work now, but finding a collaborator set hasn't been so easy. ;)

Well, if you're interested in dinosaurs, we have an online dinosaur encyclopedia hosted at the University of Bristol server. We have a Forum there if you want to get in touch with other palaeo types.
