I’m very happy to announce that my very first paper is out now in GCA! In essence: The C3 plant paleo-CO2 proxy doesn’t work for Ginkgo, and we shouldn’t expect it to work for a lot of other plants. A 🧵... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The deadline for @geosociety Connects abstract submissions is rapidly approaching (Aug 5th). My Co-chairs @scher_a , Ben Kligman, and I still eagerly invite your submissions on #coprolite research! We want to catch a whiff of your work! #Paleontology

At this year's GSA meeting I, @scher_a, and Benjamin Kligman are chairing the session T154: Coprolite Happens. For this session, we have two invited speakers: Dr. Karen Chin and George Frandsen, owner and curator of the Poozeum. We excited to hear their (and your!) talks!

Abstract submission deadline is coming up for @geosociety #GSAConnects2025 ! Submit your abstract by August 5th, consider these session on teeth and coprolites!

Ben Kligman, @scher_a, and I are chairing GSA section T154: Coprolite Happens! We eagerly invite abstract submissions on coprolite research. There's been a lot of movements in the field, and we want to share it!

Hey everyone! Check out our new paper on the evolution of cranial kinesis in birds out in PNAS! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… We used 3D muscle modeling, linkage mechanics, and phylo methods to investigate feeding across the dino-bird transition 🦖🐦‍⬛(1/?)

On this week's #SciencePodcast🎙️ , researcher Tina Lüdecke describes how her team used nitrogen isotope ratios from the tooth enamel in seven Australopithecus individuals to determine what predominated in their diets at the time—meat or veg. 🎧 Listen here: scim.ag/3WnCpMO
