Thrilled to share our work is on the cover of Science Advances!

From finding the fossil with my father in 2021 to countless hours across synchrotrons worldwide. Huge thanks to @JolfRocks, Nathaly Archilha, Miguel Basei, and @InvertebratePal!

Come join us in Raleigh this December for a workshop on ocean anoxic events!

We will aim to synthesize observational constraints and driving mechanisms of ocean oxygen levels through time.

Abstracts due October 1st.

[Past Global Changes @PAGES_IPO]

📢The 2nd @po2_sm_pages workshop will be taking place from 10–12 Dec '25 in Raleigh, NC, USA on “Notable Hypoxic Events of the Geologic Past”. Registration will open in summer 2025.
📌Details will be available on the workshop website: https://t.co/oXFigZLmhg

About 390 million years ago, rising deep-ocean oxygen levels opened new marine habitats. New research suggests this shift sparked an evolutionary burst among jawed fish — the ancestors of most vertebrates alive today. https://t.co/pL9a71Z9kF

@betulland The Burning Man sunrise sets by Tycho are my go to for that: https://t.co/FYxIXyrxN8

But also have a soft spot for this one given the Carl Sagan samples: https://t.co/ixAVqFosGT

Reference hallucination rates have improved considerably

[Michael Kipp @kippmichael]

One way to spot ChatGPT-generated manuscripts (for now): non-existent references

Some worse than others, ranging from fully correct to just a wrong date to a random (but real-sounding) mash up of authors, titles, and journals

Please share!

Our lab is recruiting PhD students and/or postdocs for Fall 2025.

Projects may include a combination of fieldwork, isotope geochemistry, and modeling.

Reach out to discuss if interested!

This is the paper that prompted the conversation. A recent collaboration with @MarianoRemirez and @GilleaudeauLab

Had a fun chat with @j_tibs on Due South @wunc today. We discussed our lab’s research on ocean oxygen depletion during past global warming events & what it can tell us about the future.
