New lab record. Spring is in the air! #Xenopus #amplexus #MaddinLab

Sad to lose a student, but happy to gain a colleague (and friend 😊). Congrats Dr.@DanaKorneisel! Can't wait to see what comes next. #MaddinLab

[Hillary Maddin @Evo_Deva]

I'll be looking for an MSc or PhD student to take on some evo-devo research in my lab starting fall 2024. Skull and somite fate mapping, and brain-skull devo, in frogs and salamanders. DM or email me before the end of the calendar year! #MaddinLab

@Tseng_ZJ @Chris_J_Law I had a dream once of such a working group! Hosted a symposium and collabed on a small NSF focused on the herp side, but had hopes to expand to all kinds of burrowers! Could be resurrected!

We are seeking to fill one last PhD position on our NSERC Alliance grant in partnership with the New Brunswick Museum. Join an enthusiastic team based in Ottawa, Canada, to study new and exciting Carboniferous vertebrate fossils! #SVP2023 @CarletonScience #MaddinLab

[Hillary Maddin @Evo_Deva]

We're hiring! 2-year fossil preparator position to be based at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. Contact one of us for more info! Apply by May 5th, but applications will be accepted until position is filled.

[Hillary Maddin @Evo_Deva]

@QamNas I usually start with two or three main areas/issues/questions the research's results contribute to addressing. Then I can write mini essays on each. Bite-sized for the win.

[Hillary Maddin @Evo_Deva]

Calling all interested prospective students! We're about to launch our NSERC-Alliance-funded program exploring Carboniferous vertebrates of New Brunswick. Stay tuned for a call for a two-year technical position too! #CarletonUniversity #MaddinLab et al. #paleontology

[Hillary Maddin @Evo_Deva]

Sad to have missed #SVP2022 (not sad for the reason - new baby) but mega proud of the team representing the #MaddinLab. Great talks by @jadeinjoggins, Misha, @cullen_thomas and @DanaKorneisel, who was also this year’s Cohen Award recipient.

[Hillary Maddin @Evo_Deva]

@jason_loxton Yes, our Paul Menton Centre provides accommodations for students with multiple forms of needs, including quiet spaces, snacking, frequent breaks, lighting, etc. Check it out :)

@DrMichaelJRyan @DavidEvans_ROM Dougie is!

[Hillary Maddin @Evo_Deva]

Welcome Dr. McFeeters! Seen here in the Jurassic and Carboniferous of Nova Scotia, though he'd take the Cretaceous any day ;). Exquisite thesis completed on the ontogeny and morphology braincases of hadrosaurs, with evolutionary implications. #MaddinLab @ErthSciCarleton

Congrats to @MannArjan and @incisorial on identifying a new limb-reduced tetrapod! A keen eye reveals Nagini had small hindlimbs, but no arms! Special thanks to @Paleoartologist for bringing the beast to life.

[Dr. Arjan Mann @MannArjan]

Introducing the world to the New Recumbirostran, Nagini mazonense, revealing oldest example of Snake-like Limb-loss in the fossil record of Amniotes! from the world famous Mazon Creek Lagerstatte, Illinois, USA! Reconstruction by @Paleoartologist

Enjoy a 3D look at the best preserved specimen of Dendrerpeton. Lots more work to be done on this complex of taxa. Congrats to former PDF Thomas Arbez and former PhD @jadeinottawa #FossilFriday #MaddinLab #CarletonNovaScotiaPaleo https://t.co/BadVjmWpqZ

@incisorial @jadeinottawa *Nova Scotia Museum specimen ;)

[Hillary Maddin @Evo_Deva]

Better late than never! #MaddinLab secret santa was a great success! So many cool objects perfectly selected for everyone. 🎅

[Hillary Maddin @Evo_Deva]

Great blog post by our very own. @DanaKorneisel. Check out her exciting research, which was also recently published in the @AnatRecord #maddinlab @CarletonScience How many bones are in an alligator neck? It’s complicated https://t.co/auIZJmMXyg
