472 pages and 4 years later I can finally call myself a Doctor! 🎓🎊 @UOP_SEGG
Thank you to my viva examiners @Sansom_Rob and @MariemSaavedra for making it such a positive experience, and to my supervisor @nichnos and everyone who has helped and supported me along the way!

Finished my first talk at #Palass23 @CambridgeEarth investigating the effects of wave action on arthropod taphonomy!Thank you to all who attended and @ThePalAss for inviting me to talk! In case you missed it, here's a video of what animal we're looking at next! 🥳🦐

Closing out the session was PARTY SHRIMP 🎉🦐🎉! @DevinePalaeo showed us some fun videos of crustaceans vibing in a wave transport tank with serious taphonomic implications

IT IS OUT! As long as we have started studying animals, the simple question “what’s the heaviest animal that ever lived?” had a simple answer: the blue whale…well, not any more E.

As the main event comes to a close, we want to thank our amazing ProgPal attendees. The quality of the presentations this year was exceptional, and we've been thrilled to host you over the these last few days.

The weather is looking pretty good for tomorrow's field day, too! ☀️

Finished giving my lightning talk today at @ProgPal2023 on my PhD project: Experimental effects of wave processes on Arthropod taphonomy! 🌊🦐
Thank you again to everyone who organised the conference and for inviting me to speak! 🦕🦖
