We weren’t just welcoming the first day of spring today… lovely to have Prof Christian Klug @UZH_en join us in Adelaide for a picnic with the @FlindersPalaeo “fish people” 🍕 🍷
@DrAliceClement is spreading the good word about the many applications of digital palaeontology at #ISELV17@ISELV2024 with a healthy helping of lungfish examples in CT, microCT, diceCT, FEA, virtual museums, synchrotron and neutron tomography
@CLMensforth with another great poster. If you’re at #ISELV2024 make sure you check out newly described anatomy of Koharalepis illuminated by neutron tomography #palaeontology
My LAX-Montreal trip was actually a scenic flight of the Grand Canyon, Colorado River, Hoover Dam and Rocky Mountains 😍 ridiculous scenes out the window. I’m stoked to be headed to my 1st International Symposium on Early and Lower Vertebrates, can’t wait to meet the fishy folks!
Dr Gludhug Purnomo’s invited talk on human genetic research in Wallacea and Sahul showed how community engagement benefits both researchers and the local populations. Great to catch Gludi at the International Society for Biological and Environmental Repositories conference #ISBER
Support natural science research, anthropology, archaeology, and staff of the SAM! Join the protest rally against the would-be devastating proposed changes to the @SAMuseum this Saturday April 13th from 11 am at Parliament House, Adelaide. https://t.co/60ag91J8CQ
I got to marvel at Samorn the elephant this week, the last to live at Adelaide Zoo. She’s huge! Fumehood in the background for scale. She’s lost a bit of weight since the first time we met though 😂 thanks heaps to Anthony and the @VetAnatomyUofA crew for the visit 🐘
New paper day! 🆕 "A new stem-tetrapod fish from
the Middle–Late Devonian of central Australia" out today in @JVP_vertpaleo introducing *Harajicadectes zhumini* to the world... https://t.co/AhvZuGYTiq
We celebrated our postgrad student seminar day last week 🎉 and reflected on the last 12 months. Overall I’ve had a great year and I hope 2023’s been good to you too.
