Proud to celebrate our dinosaur expert Dr Neil Gostling and former student Thomas Land for their parts in the new Spielberg documentary The Dinosaurs on Netflix 🦕
Dr Gostling researched Spinosaurus habits, and Thomas was a science researcher.

On one of the student discords I'm on - student accused of using AI for assessment (he did). Used AI to predict questions they would ask in mini-viva, passed.
Thanks to all who attended rhe THECampus session with @_annajwood_ fascinating to hear Anna's insights and great to share thoughts on digital leadership from @unisouthampton
