@TomHoltzPaleo @Friedman_Lab @UMMNH Missed that, but found these….

Hey, #NAPC2024 folks. I found the secret hidden mini-Desmatosuchus aetosaur at @UMMNH; can you find it, too?

A @TAMU_Ocean-led team has created the first global map of seafloor biodiversity activity by using machine learning to map a picture of animals' activities & the conditions that drive their efforts to shape ecosystem health in our oceans. tx.ag/ZhangGlobalMap…

A pyritized benthic foraminifera! Pyrite has begun to crystalize in the area that once held living tissue. More cool things are coming from the core! #Exp395 #IODP

So proud of this journey @DrKieronPrince and are on! Have you checked out the June episode of @geotrippodcast yet? For June, we discuss forams with @foramsraqu sprinkled with snippets of Kieron's dad jokes and me fan Girling open.spotify.com/episode/0EVP00…

📢Exciting news! 🚨Our paper on the FORCIS database, the global census of planktonic Foraminifera from ocean waters, is finally out! 🔗nature.com/articles/s4159… #FORCISdatabase #PlanktonicForaminifera #OceanResearch #NewPublication @ScientificData @climate_cerege 🐚🌍 🧵 1/7

My first research paper with Team Bivalve! Despite their Cambrian origin, the bivalves took their time to invent new modes of life. Incredibly grateful for the guidance from @spissatella, @NCrouch89, Stewart Edie & Dave Jablonski. Excited for more work with the amazing team!

Best postdoc mentor and team, ever 😎😎😎

Are you an undergraduate student interested in learning more about #marinemicropaleontology #geochemistry #MineralPhysics & #RockDeformation. We're offering a one-week summer school for undergraduates to conduct research in these area. learn more & apply👇sites.google.com/tamu.edu/tamu-…

The 3D Pollen Project: An open repository of three-dimensional data of....pollen grains....!! Congrats @OliJWilson on such a cool project and paper! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Direct access on the website here: 3dpollenproject.wixsite.com/main/

There's still time for students and postdocs to apply for a @CnsrvPaleoNetwk travel grant to host a #conservation #paleobiology session or present research at a conference. Applicaitons close June 1st! Instructions linked here: bit.ly/CPNStudentGrant

Our project on fossil extinction & climate change is shortlisted for a PhD studentship (UK tuition + stipend), pending an excellent candidate for the final interview. Happy to answer Qs and will post a link soon. Team: @spissatella @KirstyMEdgar & me.

Two of the first paleoecology books I bought before grad school were by Jim Valentine. Also had the privilege of working with him during my post doc on the factors controlling marine biogeography. He was a huge influence on how I view the oceans and their biota. 🐚🌊

Applications for the summers school are due May 28 and we can only accommodate students that reside in the US. @CushmanFdn @MicropalaeoSoc

In addition to Marine Micropaleontology, the summer school also features: Trace element geochemistry Mineral Physics Experimental Rock Deformation More info here: sites.google.com/tamu.edu/tamu-…

🚩Please pass to interested undergraduates. @TAMU_GeoGeo is offering a one-week summer school for undergraduates to conduct research in the department. I’ll be accepting students interested in marine micropaleontology and we’ll be working with foram faunas. Link ⬇️
