Ever wondered how those sea urchins you see at the seashore make their skeletons? Well check out our new manuscript in @EvoDevo_BMC with @OliveriLab and @PaganosPeriklis to find out how: rdcu.be/cgTn7 1/n

When I started my PhD ~10 years ago, only 2/5 echinoderm groups (the star-shaped sea stars and brittle stars) had genome-scale phylogenetic datasets. I am proud to say that the quest to complete the clade is now over

In the field at Culver (Isle of Wight), with @chiahsinhsu2313 and @echinerd. We were looking at the #Cenomanian - #Turonian chalks, including several important climate change intervals that our project will be sampling. Plenty of #fossils to keep everyone happy too!

New preprint out with @echinerd et al. on total-evidence dating showcasing:
1) Sea urchins (the best clade)
2) Lyrics by Peter Gabriel-era Genesis (the best prog band)
3) Extreme effects of the type of relaxed clock on phylogenetic and macroevolutionary inferences (a bit scary)

But the clock, tick-tock: the preeminence of relaxed clock models in total-evidence dated phylogenetics biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_evobio

It is time to talk about peer review bullying. In a new paper, I discuss why this type of bullying is prevalent and how to prevent it. Editors and reviewers, please read this. @CellCellPress @Trends_Ecol_Evo @FGSE_UNIL @unil @snsf_ch

Reminder that I'm looking for a MSc student to work on morphological diversification in fossil crinoids. Please share w/ any students who may be interested & FYI I'll be at the @geosociety GSA meeting next week
Dr. Davey F. Wright ⛏️🦕🧬@Davey_F_Wright
I'm recruiting a MSc student to work on an NSF project focusing on morphological disparity in crinoids from Anticosti Island. My lab at @OU_Paleo uses fossils, fieldwork, & phylogenetic modeling to study macroevolution in extinct invertebrates. Feel free to reach out & please RT!

Has anyone ever published all the results of a project during the lifetime of a grant???
With open access becoming the expectation for funded research, granting bodies really must start to allow use of publication funds, if they are costed in a grant, after a project's end date.
