Excited to finally post about this paper in Paleobiology I’ve been working on with Isaac Krone and @the_rock_hobbit

It’s our first order approximation of what could end up in the fossil record of the future 🦴⏰🐸

Studying reproduction in extinct organisms is challenging, and a fossil record of genitalia is very rare.
Luckily the penis bone (baculum) of mammals fossilizes sometimes.

I described this bone for an extinct subfamily of canids, the Borophaginae

I would like to know why @UofCalifornia just sent an email to its employees claiming that the tentative agreements reached with UAW means that “student employees are expected to cease any picketing.”

Biologist on #UCstrike working for a #FairUCnow and for a fair future for biology and public education ❤️😍.

Very proud of my colleagues que luchan!! @berkeleyIB @uaw2865

Our occupation of the UC Office of the President has moved from the lobby to a conference room. No business as usual until we win fair contracts! #UAWonStrike #FairUCnow

[Valeria RC @Valeria_RamCas]

#UCstrike As a #biologist on strike, one big concern is that the total salary does not contemplate that we conduct fieldwork in the summer so we only get paid for 9 months (until now). We need to ensure that fieldwork is included in the paid summer positions!🌱

[UAW 4811 @uaw_4811]

It’s been 11 days since grad workers submitted a proposal on wages. Still no response from UC. We’re marching to the office of the President to ask where is the leadership?? #FairUCNow #UAWonStrike #UCBerkeley

[UAW 4811 @uaw_4811]

“I am an ardent supporter of worker’s rights, and it is my sincere hope negotiations will continue in earnest to come to a reasonable resolution for both parties involved. I implore you to come to an agreement that is fair for workers and their families.”

This IQ adoption study is circulating due to a recent controversy surrounding the lead author.

I've read it and want to explain how it's wrong. It jumps to a conclusion which isn't supported by the data or methods and only bolsters the fallacy of genetic determinism

A clip from Don’t Look Up, and then a real TV interview that just happened

[Tanner Frank @TannerPaleo]

It’s been a fossil plant-filled past two weeks for me, between fieldwork and getting to go to Stockholm for an amazing paleobotany conference #EPPC!

[Tanner Frank @TannerPaleo]

Just wrapped up fieldwork in the Catskills with Susan Tremblay (@verdoornia) and @nysmuseums scientists Linda VanAller Hernick and Chuck Ver Straeten. I had a great time with them, and it was refreshing working outdoors instead of on a screen for a few days!

[Tanner Frank @TannerPaleo]

I’m excited to break down some of the rocks in hydrofluoric acid when I’m back in Berkeley, and see what 385 million year old arthropods remains may be hiding inside (the photo is from last year’s samples).
