Drawn 18th August, GL!!
Decades ago, we published a paper demonstrating the accuracy of phylogenetic analysis in a fast-evolving virus (Hillis et al., 1992. Science 255:589-592). Reviewers questioned the relevance of a viral phylogeny. Perhaps they understand now?
While procrastinating today, I've discovered this researcher who happens to be an excellent blogger as well, @StephenBHeard. Didn't have the chance to read either of his books but surely something to do in the future!
#FossilFriday Conodonts are tiny fossils typically less than a millimetre in size. First discovered in 1856, their origin remained obscure until the 1980s when they were shown to be the teeth of extinct chordates slightly more advanced than hagfish. #100Fossils @odealab
HUGELY EXCITING! A cave bear carcass has been recovered from the permafrost on an Arctic island - โthe first and only find of its kind.โ The preservation is remarkable; all internal organs are present. And that nose! Wonderful ๐ท NEFU https://t.co/U6nayPIsIp
My first #PhD paper is out in JVP @SVP_vertpaleo#OpenAccess, with @jemilyr and Mike Benton!๐ฅณWe redescribe the anatomy of Thecodontosaurus based on amazing new material, and discuss aspects of its palaeobiology.๐ฆด๐ฆท๐ฆ #FossilFriday#dinosaur

So proud of @ananth_srinivas for passing his PhD proposal and coming up with a super cool project on cranial form and biomechanics in eels and limbless tetrapods! Time to start doing some amazing science! ๐ฅณ๐๐
Excited for the release of my first paper, with @macroevolut, @jemilyr and Christian Klug, investigating the potential for suspension-feeding in the giant Titanichthys! (https://t.co/ygCP7G8VPu)
Congrats to @SamCoatham and colleagues for their new paper on Titanichthys foraging, giving support for suspension feeding in giant Devonian placoderms. Sam asked to borrow my Titanichthys #paleoart for the PR - only cropped versions have been released online until now.
