Soooooo it’s happening! I’ll be defending my PhD dissertation next week, April 23rd @ 9:30am EST- if you would like to attend (in person or via zoom) to learn about #phytosaurs and some #crocodylians please send a DM for more details

So excited to be able to publish this work in the @JournalofAnat special issue on #paleohistology with awesome editors @PolishPaleo and @funstonpaleo

It’s here and it’s real 🤩 the 4th chapter of my dissertation is out! doi.org/10.1111/joa.14… Do you want to know how the tiniest phytosaurs grow? Check out the histology of the tiniest phytosaur femur! @VTechmeetsPaleo @NotThatMarsh @chinleana @danny_oolithus

Welp…it happened

Help us reach our goal and donate to the 30th GSRS here: crowdfund.vt.edu/project/44386 10 days left to donate!

Come by my poster 328 this afternoon to learn about how microfossils can be useful for inferring functional traits!!! 🦎🐊

If you see me at SVP please say hello! I love talking fishes/fossils.

Also! Want more #phytosaurs and #histology? Stop by B172 TODAY to see some awesome histology of a phytosaur jaw done by one of VT’s recently graduated - Lina McCloskey (she’s looking to apply to grad school!!!)

At #SVP2024 in Minneapolis!! If you are interested in #phytosaurs and #osteohistology come to my talk on Saturday at 2pm in the SVP SATURDAY SPECTACULAR!

Excited to be talking about a new species of Saurichthys and an unexpected toothy twist on Thursday at 3 at SVP! Come celebrate Halloween with the horrors of fish teeth.

I am so excited to introduce to the world Microzemiotes sonselaensis: a very small, very scary, venomous reptile from the Late Triassic peerj.com/articles/18279/

What was Salterella and what can it’s unique morphology teach us about early animal shell evolution? Come found out at my #GSA2023 talk on Sunday at 8:50 in room 304/305.

If you are attending GSA this year, here is a table showing when several affinity group meetups will be happening (they should all be findable in the program as well)

Abstract for SICB in Seattle accepted! Really excited to talk to biologists about a 300 million year old fish with strange jaws and the evolution of extreme diversity in ray-finned fishes! Any other attendees please reach out I need conference buddies.

Abstract was accepted so SICB 2024 here I come! If you wanna hear about some of the things I’ve been up to lately, come see my talk on Saturday, Jan. 6!!! #phytosaurs #histology #SICB2024

A little hint and sneak peak on what I’ll be chatting about at #SVP2023! Thanks SO MUCH @histo_holly for letting me use your AMAZING SETUP!!!
