A very stimulating paper by @simpson_carl and colleagues, which I've had a chance to review, on the expansion of the notion of fitness to so called "expansion fitness" concept which can be applied to multiple levels of the genealogical hierarchy.

Paleobiological Revolution started as the reorientation of paleontology towards solving profound biological problems.
Here the circle completed itself. We should realize that the geology is indispensable, since it determines content and the structure of the fossil record.

"Paleobiology has flourished because it has embraced diverse approaches: field-based, museum-based, numerical simulations, & database studies...we have noticed that relatively few research groups have pursued active field-based studies. It is unclear why"

Kayla Irizarry, doctoral candidate in geosciences at Penn State, is using her @fordfoundation Predoctoral Fellowship to better understand what controlled diversity in Earth’s earliest complex ecosystems. She's one of 87 students to receive the honor. https://t.co/PBGITNuF52

Next time you're visiting our Museum and Art Gallery, be sure to check out this new exhibit that was developed by a geosciences graduate student. The 3D display informs about life in the time of the dinosaurs. https://t.co/5z8xkmcF0z

.@PRInstitution is a gem with outstanding collections and personnel, innovative outreach, and the superb Museum of the Earth. They're in a tough spot at the moment. Can you help? https://t.co/6ssHYZqfqg

[Mark Patzkowsky @markpatzkowsky]

@AFWhitaker @Prehistorica_CM I had no idea! l'll have to read up on this.

[Mark Patzkowsky @markpatzkowsky]

@Thomas_Clements Well done, Dr. Clements!

[Mark Patzkowsky @markpatzkowsky]

@lhliow @PRInstitution Ken encouraged me a lot when I was just getting my start. He gave me locality information for my dissertation. Indeed, his work on bryozoans was innovative and inspiring. He was a real gem.

[Anastasia Piliouras @anapiliouras]

I’m looking for graduate students to join our research group in the Department of Geosciences @penn_state. Research may focus on arctic deltas, ecogeomorphology, icy riverine processes, or other topics of interest to the student.

@FairestFowl covering fossils is a good use of the Messel
