Vertebrate Palaeobiologist studying the functional morphology of limbs over evolutionary transitions

@WHuiskamp It's one of the few things in the US that they have somewhat figured out. Double pane windows and insulation. Too much AC though

I should add too that Denise’s project is a great highlight of the undergrad research opportunities at the @DukeLemurCenter and in @EvAnthDuke more broadly! That and Denise being an overall amazing researcher, but perhaps that goes without saying!

Going to #AABA2022 ?? Mark your calendars for the undergrad symposium Wednesday (6-8pm in the Plaza Exhibit room)! Come learn about the mechanics of lemur grasping from Denise, an undergrad I’ve worked with over the last year! See y’all at poster #26 !

@WHuiskamp Yeeeah, was kinda looking forward to going back for Xmas...

It's time to rewrite the textbooks! @MCZpaleo @Kjonesthebones @dicksonfossils and Ken Angielczyk latest study in @CurrentBiology challenges a long-held assumption in backbone evolution in mammals

Non-mammalian synapsids not quite as reptile-y as you might think.... questioning the lateral-sagittal paradigm!
New paper out in @CurrentBiology with @MCZpaleo and @dicksonfossils

Well, confirmation that the cops literally just let them through https://t.co/kqhLn4swjq

Today the "sexy" chapter of my thesis was published in Nature. https://t.co/YT3C4vJaI2

So pleased with how it turned out with a massive thanks to my powerhouse thesis advisor @MCZpaleo Stephanie Pierce.

Just read the new paper in Nature Comms "The association between early career informal mentorship in academic collaborations and junior author performance". While it is technically "science", its conclusions are pretty gross.

@inzaneresearch Most probably a supplier issue. Everyone in the universe is streaming Netflix, which takes up all the networks bandwidth.

@MesozoicMark I watched it last night, so I'm open to fanboying anytime

[Blake Dickson @dicksonfossils]

@KFeilich Mmmm, my approach would probably be first to set up a pca of your spatial predictors to establish independent spatial axes. As for setting up your matrix and model, the spatial package in R has some good tools for this. That's about as far as my knowledge extends

[Blake Dickson @dicksonfossils]

@KFeilich I've done a little bit, what need?

Reading up on my #tetrapodamorph fossils (Young, Long and Ritchie. 1992)

@robinmdbeck I have no clue what you're talking about, I can't see any way to misconstrue my name.
