@alt_ccc @sensiblemoderat ….i don’t think he’s “deliberately trying to be a victim”

I think he’s deliberately trying to get his opponent and her supporters to talk about how he enlisted to serve his country & she voted for the Iraq war all at once

🚨 New terrestrial croc paper alert!
Another study led by @paiva_als (PhD student I co-supervise with Max Langer) is out today in Palaeontology!
We revisit a classic question with new tools: how big were notosuchians, really? 🐊📏

@lukejharmon Cool! I've been torn here--We professors are a self-selected group with a non-representative relationship to learning. I get nervous that *fully* eschewing grades would just let me fool myself. But I've really enjoyed standards-based grading for my chordate class.

The last chapter of my PhD thesis has been finally published! We describe the axial skeleton of the Tuatara in detail, focusing on osteological variability, ontogeny, and fossil remarks.
Check it out, it's open access!

New specimen of the tiny dinosaur Alnashetri reveals alvarezsauroids got small a lot, and that there have been secret ones hiding in collections from across the world.

Excited this project led by Pete Makovicky and Sebastian Apesteguía is out! Feel lucky to have joined!

AI is cool and all... but a new paper in @ScienceMagazine kind of figured out the origin of life?

The paper reports the discovery of a simple 45-nucleotide RNA molecule that can perfectly copy itself.

Been a while since we last posted but that's bc we've been busy moving... to Portland, Oregon! Here's a first peek at our new space in the Central Eastside. To everyone who has supported us- thank you for getting us to this exciting next step in our growth as a small business!
