OK, so the world of early vertebrate palaeontology is EXPLODING, with 4 papers in this week's @Nature. Short* thread of why fossil fish-botherers are excited and why you should be too 🐟🦈 Spoiler alert: your evolutionary origins have just stretched further back in time.

This is a really superb opportunity for Early Career Researchers! Why not nominate yourself, you could receive £250 and membership of PalSoc - but better still, it looks brilliant on your CV! #ECR #WomeninSTEM #Palaeontology #Paleontology #blackinpalaeo #womeninpalaeo

Did you publish something in 2023? Why not nominate yourself (or a colleague) for the Edward Forbes Prize? This award for Early Career Researchers recognises contributions to systematic palaeo of British fossils. More info: palaeosoc.org/grants-prizes/… #ECR

@Sansom_Rob I asked John Marsh and he directed me to a version that includes it. Do you want a copy?

I don't think it's a meaningful breach of University Senate confidentiality if I reveal that I've just sent an email saying I can't find appendix 1 to appendix 4 of agenda item 7. I hope you people are happy.

@nfchilton I tried that: Apparently I will need to provide a cost code for it to be charged to the school. I asked how much- I would need to get a quotation from a private contractor 🙃

Someone has locked their bike to my bike and it’s been stuck since yesterday. What is the protocol or etiquette is here?

I'm hiring a postdoc for a collaborative @NSF & @NERCscience-supported project! Our US/UK team examines phenotypic and functional diversification in early ray-finned fishes. Work draws on 3D models of mandibles from μCT and synchrotron tomography. Ad: careers.umich.edu/job_detail/244…

@MicrobiaLoop Mentimeter is a tool to create simple quizzes and interaction in real time, for example, students can ask and answer questions anonymously on their phones during a lecture. I found it quite useful for teaching @mentimeter mentimeter.com

The danger of inviting students to ask you anything during live lectures via Mentimeter is that they ask you stuff like this:

But I shall take this as a positive, because to formulate this question means that they have understood about three different specific learning objectives from the unit

What the HELL is going on with hagfish? These weird slime producing aberrations are unlike any other vertebrate and have always proved an evolutionary conundrum, but now we have GENOOOOME 🧬 Let's take a look at how today's @NatureEcoEvo paper changes things... 1/9
