My first feature for Nature is about dinosaur-era climate change

It's been months in the making and here it is: my first feature for Nature.

Did a million years of rain jump-start dinosaur evolution?

It's been a pleasure working with editor Rich Monastersky on this piece. The story is about the Carnian Pluvial, a period early in the dinosaur era when the climate seemingly lurched from dry to wet, and stayed that way for over a million years. The result was evolutionary turnover, which seemingly included the diversification and rise to dominance of the dinosaurs.
