New paper; old birds

[Case Vincent Miller, PhD @PaleoCase]

#Enantiornithine birds were the dominant birds of the #Cretaceous, and our new study suggests that their #diets were as varied as living birds! Not only that, but they evolved this #diversity in #diet at a rate comparable to that of modern birds! (1/17)

[Jen Bright @BeekGeak]

@alec_wilken @kalebsellers @Ornithanatomist @WitmerLab @CrocHolliday Nvm, someone else was able to share it :)

[Jen Bright @BeekGeak]

@alec_wilken @kalebsellers @Ornithanatomist @WitmerLab @CrocHolliday Nice one! This looks super cool, could you please send me a PDF? Apparently we don't have access to PNAS

[Pittman Palaeo Lab @PalaeoPittman]

🚨 Cretaceous bird diets varied as much as modern #bird diets & both evolved over similar time spans @eLife 🚨 Synthesis of @PaleoCase’s PhD work supervised by me & @BeekGeak in collaboration w/ #XLWang & #XTZheng: https://t.co/c3J3plFVb6 #fossils @CUHKScienceHKScience @CUHKofficial #biodiversity

Another job opening! I am hiring a postdoc in my lab at University College London to work on developing new phylogenetic comparative methods for modeling the evolution of complex phenotypes! Details here: https://t.co/QLFC1MDbaO

I’m not at #SICB2024, but everyone who is should check out @ananth_srinivas’s talk today, and also @amber_wagstaffe‘s poster on Friday

[Ananth Srinivas @ananth_srinivas]

Curious about cranial Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and model validation? Join me for a discussion on strain validation using a 3D Scanning Laser Doppler Vibrometer in Alligator jaws at #SICB2024. Come see my talk today at 11 AM in room 615-616 during the DCB student session.

[Dr. Sarah Sheffield @sarahlsheffield]

Any of my geology faculty friends have ig/met petrology and/or remote sensing course materials they’d be willing to share with a lovely friend of mine in her first year of being a professor? Thanks in advance, from both me and @lisgallant!
