Because science needs more than massive mutual back-slapping!
Tricky scientific puzzles and chronic bullshitters sorted :-)

The Dept. of Biological Sciences at NC State has a tenure-track faculty position opening in Paleobiology. Candidates pursuing research in any quantitative area of paleobiology are encouraged to apply. Candidates who study biomechanics/biophysical modeling at macro and micro (histological) scales are encouraged to apply. https://jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/176184

Here's a good project for someone like that:
Develop a powered, perhaps radio-controlled version of a vodrom (i.e. volant dromaeosaur) - like they did with that flying pteranodon 20 years ago!

Three diagrams showing: a depiction of a flying volant droamaeosaur such as Bambiraptor; the plan, side and elevation views of the wings, including the range of movements of the rear wings, and the way the long foot feathers flap up vertically then down to horizontal, as the rear wings push outwards, generating thrust like the feet in breaststroke; and a side view diagram of the path followed by the wing tips in an ellipse-type locus, with rear wings 9 degrees ahead of the front wings. Detailed explanation of how the rear wings of a volant dromaeosaur such as Bambiraptor would be deployed when used just to generate lift; then the start of an account of how they could be used to generate thrust by flapping - by pushing outwards, instead of flapping up and down. Further rather complex details of the dynamics of the flappin grear wing of a vodrom (volant dromaeosaur) such as Bambirator.

I invented the Pandemonium Association Engine. It runs GWT, so I co-invented that. It should support Artificial General Intelligence.

AI helps with algorithms: evolution etc; what “facts”, “theories” are etc. It’s better for palaeo than a palaeo degree.

Flying dromaeosaurs’ flapping legs:
The SCIENTIFIC accounts of:
Dinobird evolution - feathers & wings evolved for flight, NOT DISPLAY!:
Human evol - chimps & gorillas DID have ancestors!:

A set of 14 guiding rules for scientific theorisation, largely gained through watching bad practice amongst palaeontologists and avoiding their mistakes. These rules cover both inductive, i.e. experimental sciences, and historical sciences. Four stages in the arm and leg flapping cycle of flying dromaeosaurs (i.e. vodroms) 90° apart. The front wings work much like modern birds, though the shoulder is a bit lower. Unlike the arms which generate thrust by moving down through the air, the legs push outwards, a bit like the legs in breast-stroke. The knees & toes point sideways, away from the body. The very long thrust-generating toe feathers point first upwards, then outwards. The fossils of those feathers show they are obviously thrust-generating primary feathers, so they must point at right-angles to the direction of flight, not backwards as typically idiotic palaeontologists show them.
