@PaleoSoc @geosociety Folks will be in and out, but I'll be around at 9 pm (virtual is hard with low battery life!) Would love to see some people in person too!

[Annaka Clement @AnnakaClement]

@TheGoodDeath Hi! I've gotten to go in Devil's Hole and the Ash Meadows Fish Conservation Facility on a graduate field trip. I'm actually a paleontologist, but live fish are cool too (I guess). Let me know if you want to know what it's like in either place!

@sealsandsass @UO_IgDEAS @uoregon @UO_Geology I've been really enjoying the sessions at #GSA2020 about diversity and equity. Please join the @PaleoSoc PaleoX mixer Thursday at 5:30 EDT if you can, I'd love to chat! (From @PaleoSoc student rep)

[Annaka Clement @AnnakaClement]

@PaleoSoc Students at #GSA2020 join the @PaleoSoc today at 5:30 EDT for the Schuchert Talk and Student Social with Dr. Jingmai O'Connor @Paleontologista

@PhoebeFossil @taorminalepore @josh_zimmt @RowanMartindale @Formorphology spread the word if you can! #GSA2020

[Annaka Clement @AnnakaClement]

Students at #GSA2020, join the @PaleoSoc Wednesday at 5:30 EDT at the Schuchert Talk and Student Social where we will hear from Dr. Jingmai O'Connor (@Paleontologista) about her experiences in paleo!

@morninggloria @Abby4Iowa @Blacktress @megangailey Hi PhD student here. Believe me, MANY grad students are not excited about returning (srsly no parties here). Like adjunct faculty, many grad students are expected and paid to teach without being offered an affordable healthcare solution from their institution.

Did an amazing field internship with @DenverMuseumNS in 2016 and got to dig up some dinos from the Kaiparowits Fm. in S. Utah. Tooth in photo is from Teratophoneus.

[Annaka Clement @AnnakaClement]

@StevenRayMorris @Billyjensen @JensenandHoles Late to the party, but I loved the dino talk in last week's distraction. I'm a paleontologist and always down to nerd about dinos (even though I study Mesozoic clam communities).

@MyFavMurder Not saying this was not suspicious, or properly handled (it's all bad), but I have seen people do some truly stupid things in small spaces.
Keep yourselves safe and approach tight vertical spaces feet first.

[Annaka Clement @AnnakaClement]

@MyFavMurder PSA about being upside down from a caver. DO NOT go into small verticle spaces head first, ever. When gravity is with you it can be easy to get in, but using your muscles to push out may get you stuck. The pressure on your heart and lungs can eventually kill you.

The excavation has begun! The field team finally got a window of good weather to start digging in Wyoming’s Triassic Popo Agie Formation for amphibians called metoposaurids. #UWGMfieldwork

This thread makes me glad that my dead critters are millions of years old. https://t.co/f4NrO5AWVM

Science in action on one of our Wyoming Temnospondyls....😍 #FossilFriday at its best! https://t.co/Z9p9Es2Lkm

[Annaka Clement @AnnakaClement]

#FossilFriday Some Fort Union plant fossils from North Dakota that are going on an outreach event this weekend. #paleontology

[Carrie Eaton @carrieeaton]

Final stop...curation station! Apatosaurine caudals, astragalus, and an Allosaur vertebra for good measure. #FossilFriday

@Zip_kelvin @Ehmee Haven't been but I've heard the @RoyalTyrrell does something similar (no aquarium tho?). @MKEPublicMuseum has a similar idea spiraling down ocean depths and looking out portholes. Aquarium would be killer!
