@dtgwynne 4 males!

@Evo_Deva Excellent! My record is a mere 3 (but, with male on bottom, mounted by two females. I assume yours has female with 3 males behind?!)

New lab record. Spring is in the air! #Xenopus #amplexus #MaddinLab

Sad to lose a student, but happy to gain a colleague (and friend 😊). Congrats Dr.@DanaKorneisel! Can't wait to see what comes next. #MaddinLab

I'll be looking for an MSc or PhD student to take on some evo-devo research in my lab starting fall 2024. Skull and somite fate mapping, and brain-skull devo, in frogs and salamanders. DM or email me before the end of the calendar year! #MaddinLab

@Tseng_ZJ @Chris_J_Law I had a dream once of such a working group! Hosted a symposium and collabed on a small NSF focused on the herp side, but had hopes to expand to all kinds of burrowers! Could be resurrected!

We are seeking to fill one last PhD position on our NSERC Alliance grant in partnership with the New Brunswick Museum. Join an enthusiastic team based in Ottawa, Canada, to study new and exciting Carboniferous vertebrate fossils! #SVP2023 @CarletonScience #MaddinLab

We're hiring! 2-year fossil preparator position to be based at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. Contact one of us for more info! Apply by May 5th, but applications will be accepted until position is filled.

@QamNas I usually start with two or three main areas/issues/questions the research's results contribute to addressing. Then I can write mini essays on each. Bite-sized for the win.

How do you start writing your Discussion? Experiencing some writers block! #AcademicChatter #PhDchat #EMCRchat

Calling all interested prospective students! We're about to launch our NSERC-Alliance-funded program exploring Carboniferous vertebrates of New Brunswick. Stay tuned for a call for a two-year technical position too! #CarletonUniversity #MaddinLab et al. #paleontology

Sad to have missed #SVP2022 (not sad for the reason - new baby) but mega proud of the team representing the #MaddinLab. Great talks by @jadeinjoggins, Misha, @cullen_thomas and @DanaKorneisel, who was also this year’s Cohen Award recipient.

@jason_loxton Yes, our Paul Menton Centre provides accommodations for students with multiple forms of needs, including quiet spaces, snacking, frequent breaks, lighting, etc. Check it out :)

Academic friends: Does your university have policy that allows students with anxiety or health concerns to write final exams in a space other than a giant gym? How do you run it? Who can access?

@DrMichaelJRyan @DavidEvans_ROM Dougie is!

#InternationalDogDay2022 Shout out to my boy Doug.

Welcome Dr. McFeeters! Seen here in the Jurassic and Carboniferous of Nova Scotia, though he'd take the Cretaceous any day ;). Exquisite thesis completed on the ontogeny and morphology braincases of hadrosaurs, with evolutionary implications. #MaddinLab @ErthSciCarleton

Congrats to @MannArjan and @incisorial on identifying a new limb-reduced tetrapod! A keen eye reveals Nagini had small hindlimbs, but no arms! Special thanks to @Paleoartologist for bringing the beast to life.

Introducing the world to the New Recumbirostran, Nagini mazonense, revealing oldest example of Snake-like Limb-loss in the fossil record of Amniotes! from the world famous Mazon Creek Lagerstatte, Illinois, USA! Reconstruction by @Paleoartologist nature.com/articles/s4155…

@jadeinottawa @JogginsFossils @NS_Museum @tim_fedak

Enjoy a 3D look at the best preserved specimen of Dendrerpeton. Lots more work to be done on this complex of taxa. Congrats to former PDF Thomas Arbez and former PhD @jadeinottawa #FossilFriday #MaddinLab #CarletonNovaScotiaPaleo onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sp…

@incisorial @jadeinottawa *Nova Scotia Museum specimen ;)

Better late than never! #MaddinLab secret santa was a great success! So many cool objects perfectly selected for everyone. 🎅

Great blog post by our very own. @DanaKorneisel. Check out her exciting research, which was also recently published in the @AnatRecord #maddinlab @CarletonScience How many bones are in an alligator neck? It’s complicated blog.csz-scz.ca/2022/01/19/how…
