I went to Dino Fest 2025 at the Utah Natural History Museum today. And it was a lot of fun and we’ll probably end up going every year.

I listened to several lectures.

• Surviving Hell’s Kitchen by Dr. Laura Wilson
• Here Be Monsters by Neil Kelly
• Prehistoric Giants from Egypt by Sanaa El-Sayed
• Mosasaurus: Lizards to Leviathans by Joshua Lively
• Bring Fossils to Life with Robots and Video Games by Kate Ritterbush

I then saw the holotype skull of diabloceratops, my favorite ceratopsian.

Later, I met Jim Kirkland, one of the guys that named and described it.
