🎉Great news! The new paper ‘Palms of the past: can morphometric phytolith analysis inform deep time evolution and palaeoecology of Arecaceae?’ in @annbot by William Brightly and co-authors is now #free for a limited time. (1/8)

66 million years ago, an asteroid impact wiped out nearly 75% of life on Earth, including the non-avian dinosaurs. But a new paper finds that flowering plants weathered the cataclysmic close of the Mesozoic surprisingly well🌸☄️

#UW Undergraduate Research Symposium last Friday and the Stromberg lab undergraduates came to represent! We had 17 undergrads presenting on 12 different topics. And special shoutout to @caestromberg for the Outstanding Undergraduate Research Mentor Award! #HuskyResearch

Corbin made the most beautiful illustration of Morotopithecus and the vegetation of the early Miocene! He was terrific to work with and his painting really helps bring the landscape to life. #fossilfriday

[Stromberg Lab @StrombergLab]

Huge congratulations to this @UWBiology and @burkemuseum team including Strömberg Lab alum Will Brightly! Well deserved!!

[Luke Weaver @lukenweaver]

I am truly honored and humbled… and still can’t quite believe it! This paper was a HUGE team effort born and bred in @UWBiology’s superb paleo group. Shout out to @HZMFulghum, @_megwhit_, @PaleoZoek, @gpwilson11, Dave Grossnickle and Will Brightly ❤️

I'm really excited to post about two papers published today in @ScienceMagazine on the oldest evidence of C4 grasses and open ecosystems in Africa and their implications for early ape evolution:

Great summary of our collaborative work in @ScienceMagazine this week on C4 grassland evolution and early ape locomotion! @UWBiology @burkemuseum

[Dan Peppe @danpeppe]

Laura MacLatchy, @mcnulty_lab, and I summarized the results of our findings in this piece @ConversationUS - "Wooded grasslands flourished in Africa 21 million years ago – new research forces a rethink of ape evolution" https://t.co/uCe5vpEeAy

[Stromberg Lab @StrombergLab]

Check out our 2 new papers in @ScienceMagazine on the emergence of C4 grassy habitats in the Early Miocene of East Africa and early ape evolution and ecology!! Great #paleobotanical #phytolith work by former @UWBiology @burkemuseum postdoc Alice Novello, @rkinyanji & others! 🌾

This quarter we held our lab's annual #Undergraduate #Research Extravaganza! This year we had 17 undergraduates present on 12 different projects. We're so grateful for all of our undergrads, as our research would not be possible without them! @UWBiology @UW_ESS @burkemuseum
