Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Thank you to all the extraordinary women who fought for a seat at the table, and then turned around, pulled out a chair, and made room for me 🩷

This reminds me of your #taphonomy focus @chiapponenature.bsky.social 😊

Thank you to @paleontologizing.bsky.social for inviting me to talk about my taphonomy fieldwork adventures 😊

Give us a watch at m.twitch.tv/videos/26354...

Here is my favourite shot of the whole interview, clearly the true star of the show has emerged 🐱

Twitch screenshot of me in my office. Backdrop features a cast Komodo dragon skull, a Daspletosaurus horneri T-shirt from the Badlands Dinosaur Museum, framed prints of a saurolophine hadrosaur skeleton and the SVP logo, a picture of Zofia Kielan-Jaworowska and a Polish flag (as our interviewee Holly Anderson is currently a postdoc in Poland)

BUSY stream today! We just interviewed Holly Anderson (@palaeophd.bsky.social) about her fieldwork adventures and taphonomy stories, and now we're gonna jump into #ThursdayBIRDSday before watching the 9th Annual Field Report from the Badlands Dinosaur Museum.

Love very small and fluffy primates? Then come visit me and explore the interrelationships between fossil and extant lorisids, and their biogeographic origins at my poster B421 today 4-6pm! #2025SVP

My #dermestid colony stripped a pack of chicken legs in just 24 hours! They even stripped the marrow of the bone. Think they are ready for the upcoming scavenging tasks I'll be assigning them in my #taphonomy research 👍

#Ammonite hunting on Lyme Regis beach with new palaeo friends closed our #2025SVP fieldtrip 🥰

@dorsetmuseum.bsky.social had many treasures including Mary Anning's notebook, birds from Alfred Russell Wallace's collection, a signed first edition of the Origin of Species and the gigantic skull of #Pliosaurus Kevani! #2025SVP

Sauropod footprints at Spyway Quarry, mulled cider by the fire at the Square & Compass, spectacular geo & palaeo at Dulworth Cove and a view of William the Conquerer's Cofe Castle for Day 2 of the #2025SVP field trip!

Two significant items ticked off my bucket list on the #2025SVP fieldtrip to Lyme Regis, finally got to visit Mary Annings statue & pay respects at her grave 🥰🦴

Happy #Halloween! The perfect day to feed my #flesh eating #dermestids their first fresh meat.... 🍖 #taphonomy

This illustration represents the Miocene lorisid, Mioeuoticus shipmani :)

My #Dermestid #beetle colony has had a huge population explosion! Lots of new crawlies to strip carcasses for my @thepalass.bsky.social #taphonomy grant! #palaeontology

My #dermestid beetles have arrived! These little flesh eaters will strip carcasses for my
@thepalass.bsky.social grant research. Thank you to Sarah at Dermestaria for this beautiful colony, I've wanted my one of my own since I was a teenager 😊🐜 #taphonomy #palaeontology

There is a unique satisfaction to pulling the plastic off a new #3Dprinter and watching the first models printing 💯
