Can testify that Sam is a wonderful mentor and an incredible person to work with! Any questions please feel free to reach out!
Thesis submitted! 🥳🥳🥳 The most enormous thanks to @GilesPalaeoLab who has been endlessly supportive and the best mentor a PhD student could ask for. And thanks to all the other people who have helped me along the way! #PhDone
Coming out scarily close to my first chapter, my second PhD chapter is now published! I wish I could say that this rapid succession of papers was planned along, but it really wasn't 😅 Thank you so much once again @GilesPalaeoLab and @emmadnn! royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

It seems that our article (w. @emmadnn) on publication pressure in palaeontology is out in the Geological Curator, in the volume edited by @BdfJjl. We wrote this more than a year ago, with material that we had from working on our other projects.

ALT Altmetric scores and the number of blog posts, tweets, and facebook (FB) posts (as of December 2020) belonging to all palaeontological publications (left) and those on Myanmar amber only (right), published in the Nature group and Science journals during the period December 2015 -November 2020. Papers on Myanmar amber generally get more attention than other palaeontological papers.

It was such a treat to work with @davfof and the rest of the team on this project - just look at these cuties! Already super excited to share some fun follow-ups, so watch this space! 🌎🌤️

First PhD chapter is now published! Such huge thanks to @GilesPalaeoLab @emmadnn & @sophfaseypalaeo for getting this out 😊😊 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
So great to catch up with my supervisor and other colleagues! Also picking up my 2020 calendar was also necessary of course.. 😅
It’s been a fantastic day catching up and chatting fossil fish with @struhenderson in person for the first time since January 2020 🤩 🐟

If you want to hear about some Palaeozoic chondrichthyan completeness pattern goodness, check out my pre-recorded talk at #PalAss21, scheduled at 13:42 today! Can they be worse than acanthodians and bats?
Thankful that my family and I are all healthy this past year 🍑 #PeachGiving

If you're at #PalAss20, tune in to Session 4 tomorrow morning at 09:10 to hear about my recent work with @mauritiantales on the ethical implications of publication trends in Myanmar amber research 🐞📊 Catch me on here or in the PalAss Discord if you'd like to hear more!
I seem to recall getting ONE notification from BBC News when huge swathes of the country went into tier 3.. Why now London is going into tier 3 do I receive SEVEN different notifications
Struan Henderson retweeted
Also any joining @ThePalAss, tune in to session 4 at 9.10 am GMT to hear more from @emmadnn on the work we have been doing regarding the issues around Myanmar amber
Since we're talking about colonialism in paleontology, I really recommend @mauritiantales's talk at @PalaeoPERCS to everyone interested in the subject:

My week has been made infinitely better by this GORGEOUS CT scan. The fossil is a ~335 million year old fish from the Carboniferous of Scotland. The light grey in the X-ray slice is rock and the darker grey bone. Even cooler - this specimen was collected 131 years ago in 1888!
