I'm really excited to post about two papers published today in @ScienceMagazine on the oldest evidence of C4 grasses and open ecosystems in Africa and their implications for early ape evolution:

@jason_loxton Yes, it’s online. We have an inclusive access textbook program, so I use Pearson’s Dynamic Study Modules currently. I’ve also used my own homework’s in Canvas for other classes as well.

[Dan Peppe @danpeppe]

@jason_loxton I’ve noticed this. I added reading homework due before class. It’s a ‘learning module’ where they have to go through each question until they’ve answered it correctly. They get a 100 if they complete the assignment. I’ve noticed marked improvement in exam grades since

@PeterBJames Congratulations Peter! Terrific news!

[Dan Peppe @danpeppe]

@DeadBovids Congratulations Kaeden - well done! You’re on the path to a great career ahead!

[Dan Peppe @danpeppe]

@sashajwright @DrVasshe It’s probably worth following up to see if there are reviewer or AE comments. Sometimes they’re in an attachment that doesn’t get sent or the automated system accidentally doesn’t include them. Seems unlikely that there would be no comments at all.

[Dan Peppe @danpeppe]

@DeadBovids Congratulations!

Why do trees have differently shaped leaves? Check out what me, ⁦@erikaedw⁩, Dan Chitwood, Ian Wright, & Susan Pell have to say about the some of the many reasons why leaf shape is so variable https://t.co/Hcs6NyLU8s

[Michael Kipp @kippmichael]

Very excited to share a new paper out today that was nearly 10(!) years in the making.

It’s a story about an ancient group of plants - cycads - and how they managed to survive to the present day while many of their peers went extinct.

@hardwaterhacker Great question! The rubble seems to be a deflation surface made up mostly of blocks of silcrete from a Paleocene unit informally called the Rhame Zone. Blocks of the Rhame Zone are pretty common in the area & particularly extensive at Mud Buttes.

[Dan Peppe @danpeppe]

Check out our new paper led by @BaylorGeo grad Logan Wiest in Cretaceous Research focused on assessing the landscape evolution across the #Cretaceous - #Paleogene boundary in the famous Mud Buttes section in southwestern North Dakota: https://t.co/K7cKVtYo9O (1/6) #stratigraphy
