It was really great talking with Senator Schumer @SenSchumer on Friday! We discussed the @BklynCollege411 Tow Mentoring & Research Program and our @NSF funded research on primate origins, the K/Pg mass extinction, and global warming!

[Brooklyn College @BklynCollege411]

It was our pleasure to welcome Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer @senschumer to campus on Friday.

[Chester Lab @ BROOKLYN @ChesterLabCUNY]

Happy #FossilFriday! We're excited about our recently funded @NSF collaborative research grant on how life recovered following the K/Pg mass extinction! Contact Prof. Chester if you're a @BklynCollege411 undergrad interested in paid research to study fossil mammals!

[Brooklyn College @BklynCollege411]

“This funding will support half a decade of exciting research and paid undergraduate assistantships.”

@BrooklynAnthro's Stephen Chester (@ChesterLabCUNY) + @DenverMuseumNS colleagues have been awarded a collaborative research grant from the @NSF. https://t.co/ojeACV20Yu

[Kat Wilson, PhD @kwilson_coasts]

I'm so proud to introduce Tony Edgington and Manica Nawaz, who are joining the COMPASS Lab at @BCEarthScience as my first PhD mentees! I'm thrilled to welcome them to Boston College and can't wait to get started on lots of exciting new coastal science. 🦅🌊🌍

Happy Earth Day! I spent the day in the lab working on my concretions! This specimen is actually pretty heavy 😅
