Returning postdoc at the one and only @Palaeo_Bham, looking at more crunchy fishies this time. Adept BG3 player and escape room expert (kind of). She/her.
@Nitroshutter @Euphanerops Congratulations Richard! @SchnetzLisa has never said that and is appalled by PI‘s comment! Suggests @Nitroshutter should pay again…
Beyond thrilled to have my final PhD chapter published as FirstView in Paleobiology today! It is finally done! Massive thanks to my co-authors for all their dedication and help! https://t.co/5AaiTEWLwv
Excited to see the first chapter of my PhD submitted!🥳 We show the impact discrete character evolution models on tree inference & present an approach for assessing the adequacy of models using posterior predictive sims. Check our preprint & tutorial 👇🏻https://t.co/413DalnDYs
Happy to share our new paper (and my second PhD chapter) on the skeletal completeness patterns of Palaeozoic chondrichthyans!🦈Thank you to my co-authors @Nitroshutter, @ButlerLabBham and Mike Coates for their help!

Job alert: I’m hiring two postdocs! The first is a 24 month position looking at the first anatomical radiation of ray-finned fishes during the mid-late Palaeozoic; the second is a 33 month position looking at macroevolutionary trends in ray-finned fishes during the Palaeozoic 🐟
How did the dinosaurs become so successful? 🦕🦖
Check out our newest paper where we looked at how climate played a key role in their early evolution!

OK, so the world of early vertebrate palaeontology is EXPLODING, with 4 papers in this week's @Nature. Short* thread of why fossil fish-botherers are excited and why you should be too 🐟🦈
Spoiler alert: your evolutionary origins have just stretched further back in time.
We are so pleased to share our paper on the ethical, legal & political issues surrounding #Myanmar amber.
We explored the data behind this important case to highlight changes needed to curb unethical and illegal practices in #palaeontology 🧵(1/9)

My latest research on the early jawed fish of China in collaboration with Min Zhu, Qiang Li, Ivan Sansom @Nitroshutter @Palaeo_Bham @unibirmingham
and other colleagues from IVPP, CAS @ZhuEarlyFishLab and Qujing Normal University
Out today in @Nature: a quartet of papers that provide a remarkable view of the first chapters of jawed vertebrate history. Collectively, they shift an entire research agenda to the early Silurian--and before.
The time has come! My dissertation defense presentation is Wednesday at 10:45am Chicago time, and you're invited! Click here 👇 to register for the Zoom link. See you in the Paleozoic1

Super excited to share my first paper!🥳🥳🥳 This is work from my MSc with @djbirddanerd and @rachelwarnock on parasite extinction estimates 🪱📊

🚨Hot off the press!🚨
Some fossils preserve soft tissues like internal organs - how does this happen?
How can watching fish rot help us understand this process?
Who would be mad enough to do that?
All this and more in our new paper: https://t.co/i6X2kMMFOm (open access).
Also, the biggest shoutout to the PhDs and postdocs at @Palaeo_Bham @geology_bham for providing the most wonderful community I have ever experienced! Just look at the hat (it even has Megalodon on it) and fin!
Very happy and grateful to have passed my PhD Viva yesterday! Massive thanks to my supervisors @Nitroshutter, @ButlerLabBham and Mike Coates for always being supportive and kind! Also to my examiners for such an enjoyable Viva! The hat rocks! 🦈
proud supervisor moment as @SchnetzLisa passed her PhD viva today - thanks to @TomDunkleyJones and Martin Brazeau for acting as examiners and the rest of the @Palaeo_Bham @geology_bham team for designing the hat (with accessory fin) 🦈🦈🦈
