Excited for this paper to finally be out and honored to have coauthored it with @DougSJones and Linda Ivany. We discuss a path forward in paleobiology that uses sclerochronology to answer some interesting questions. Check it out (open access!). https://t.co/N5wQmWrcL1

@David_K_Moss_ Excellent! Ha ha. Wish it was me who was responsible.

[American Alliance of Museums @AAMers]

Museums are in dire financial situations and cannot wait!

Even if you have already done so, please send an updated message to Congress to include museums in a new COVID-19 relief bill: https://t.co/NFvEhN4ahz

Since most of us @UF @FloridaMuseum are working remotely these days, I had to reach back into the archives for this #FossilFriday photo of one of my favorite #fossil shells, Hystrivasum locklini, an extinct predatory gastropod from the Pliocene of Florida

Cool dude! And not just saying this for the free Ammonite haha

Help me urge Congress to provide $4 billion in economic relief for museums (and zoos, aquaria, gardens, etc.) to retain staff, protect heritage and serve communities during/following #Covid_19 closures. @AAMers https://t.co/btPPkUXElI

On #FossilFriday this specimen of Ocalina floridana from the Eocene limestone near @FloridaMuseum @UF gives a whole new meaning to “stone crab”.

Happy Birthday to history-maker Dr. Liz Wing, who came to @UF as a grad student with little more than a suitcase – and ended up changing the way we study humans’ interactions with the natural world. 🔬♀️🐊
