Tomorrow!! Annual Women in Palaeo workshop @ #EAVP2025!! Join me (online), @Daniajinn, Ella Teschner, and Elena Cuesta (in person) to talk about The Matilda Effect; the way women's contributions to Science are blocked, questioned, diminished. Come one, come all, & let's talk 😊

@NHMdinolab I am extremely sad to hear this. He was an amazing person inside and outside academia.

Interested in invertebrate palaeobiology, 3D data and telling evolutionary time? If so, I am offering three PhD projects this year!

This.
Many of the issues faced by myself, my friends, and my colleagues is not because of 'science'. It's because of the systemic issues within academia: job insecurity, low wages, lack of jobs, rampant bullying, and toxic work environments.

And Just Like That… the doors have closed on the National Museum of Ireland - Natural History for several years of restoration works. 20 years ago to the month I submitted a report on the problems with the building. They are all on the list now and being addressed

A long (LONG) time ago Sam Webb, Fiona Gill, @MariaMcN_palaeo and I started working on the identification of biomarkers for coloration mechanisms in fossil insects. The article is on review at @NatureComms. The preprint is fresh out of the oven here: https://t.co/5rNgQSCwhm

Out today in @RSocPublishing! We show that butterflies and moths accumulate so much static electricity that pollen is attracted onto them across air gaps, meaning they don't even need to make contact with the flower to pollinate it! 🦋🌻 https://t.co/UayKqSCOAc 🧵👇
