Lastly, these new anatomical insights allowed us to perform the first species-level phylogeny of Champsosaurus. We recovered the youngest species as the earliest diverging, supporting previous studies suggesting multiple lineages survived the K-Pg extinction. [5/5]

I'm thrilled to share our publication describing an exquisite Champsosaurus lindoei from Montana!
@Jordan_Mallon @DavidEvans_ROM and I describe the specimen in detail, adding new information on Champsosaurus anatomy and evolution. A thread: [1/5]

So many important takeaways this morning, like audience-first communication, the role of local community leaders, and the importance of using a variety of communication platforms.
Also, pineapples on pizza gets a solid "why not" 🍍🍍🍍
