Yes, once again we’re holding a zoom-based annual convention, structured much like the very successful event of last year. I give you: TetZooMCon 2021, happening Friday September 3rd…
Given that we organisers (myself and John Conway) live in the UK, we’re working in UK time zones. Our apologies to those of you on the other side of the world. Things kick off at 4pm, and we intend to run until late with both a palaeoart workshop, an informal discussion session and an unstructured after-party occurring during the evening. Speakers include Kannan Raja (on citizen science and the herpetofauna of Singapore), Riley Black (on the palaeobiology of the predatory fossil mammal Patriofelis), Elsa Panciroli (on mammal evolution and her new book Beasts Before Us), and myself (on the dinosauroid and its backstory).
Myself and Duane Nash (yes, we’re different people) will be having a discussion about Duane’s ideas as portrayed in his book Dinosaur Enlightenment. There will also be a few surprise announcements. One or two other things have yet to be confirmed: for breaking news, check the comments here or follow #TetZooMCon on Twitter.

As you’ll recall if you were there, last year’s TetZooMCon was a huge success and ran surprisingly smoothly. I wrote about it here. It’s difficult to predict whether as many people will attend as did last year (over 350), but already tickets are selling well. Get yours here.
That about sums things up for now. We look forward to seeing you on September 3rd!
