I have joined over 150 other scientists in speaking out against attempts to overturn protections for Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. We call on the U.S. Congress to oppose any attempt to overturn protections for the beloved science monument.

12/12/25 is the 10th anniversary of the San Bernardino terrorist shootings. 14 people lost their lives, including 5 Calif St Univ San Bernardino Alumni. Please do not give into hate and divisive rhetoric. Remember them by coming together as a community. Image: CSUSB Peace Garden.

I just finished a day near Georgenthal and Tambach-Dietharz, Thuringia, Germany where the locals are very proud of the Dimetrodon and other early Permian fossils we've excavated there over the years. They love our fossils, and we love the local bratwurst!

Happy #FossilFriday ! This image is to celebrate the (almost) 25th anniversary of when the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology meeting was in Bozeman, MT in 2001. My (then) young son Darwin's first SVP, here posed under the foot of MOR 555, the T. rex "Big Mike".
