Skylin did an amazing job on this project. Preliminary results are very interesting. Excited to get some more data on Pliocene Arctica islandica soon!

[SHSU Department of Environmental and Geosciences @SHSUgeo]

Congratulations to ⚒️ Geology major and lab TA, Skylin Bromonsky, who presented her research with Dr. David Moss at the Undergraduate Research Symposium this past weekend 🌟. Great job!

[David Moss @David_K_Moss_]

@SLedford_ Thank you!

[David Moss @David_K_Moss_]

Excited to officially share this news! I'll be probing fossil clams to address questions of longevity related to phylogenetic relationships, latitude, and body size - as well as developing workshops for current and future high school Bio teachers!

[SHSU Department of Environmental and Geosciences @SHSUgeo]

🌟 Congratulations to ⚒️ Geology professor, Dr. David Moss, on receiving a $685K NSF Early Career Award that will establish a paleobiological learning community across SE Texas. He is the second faculty member in the history of SHSU to receive this prestigious grant! 🌟.
