I’m very happy to announce that my very first paper is out now in GCA! In essence: The C3 plant paleo-CO2 proxy doesn’t work for Ginkgo, and we shouldn’t expect it to work for a lot of other plants. A 🧵...

The NSF just eliminated geoscience postdocs, is trying to destroy NCAR, and is now dismantling the world's best array of ocean observatories for no reason, just uncomprehending childlike spite towards anyone who wants to learn anything about this planet https://t.co/lkJaeAMkb6

The deadline for @geosociety Connects abstract submissions is rapidly approaching (Aug 5th). My Co-chairs @scher_a , Ben Kligman, and I still eagerly invite your submissions on #coprolite research! We want to catch a whiff of your work! #Paleontology

[Morrigan Nolan @MorrisonNolan1]

At this year's GSA meeting I, @scher_a, and Benjamin Kligman are chairing the session T154: Coprolite Happens. For this session, we have two invited speakers: Dr. Karen Chin and George Frandsen, owner and curator of the Poozeum. We excited to hear their (and your!) talks!

Hey everyone! Check out our new paper on the evolution of cranial kinesis in birds out in PNAS! https://t.co/sSrkc0Myi4 We used 3D muscle modeling, linkage mechanics, and phylo methods to investigate feeding across the dino-bird transition 🦖🐦‍⬛(1/?)

On this week's #SciencePodcast🎙️ , researcher Tina Lüdecke describes how her team used nitrogen isotope ratios from the tooth enamel in seven Australopithecus individuals to determine what predominated in their diets at the time—meat or veg.

Our newest paper is out, which details the work we have been doing over the last 4+ years to improve throughput and consistency across users for the oxidation-denitrifier method, prompted by the rapid increase in applications of this method.
