I'm sorry to hear this. Thank you for this tribute to this extraordinary individual. I was a planetary student who didn't work with Yuk; yet, he was such a role model. He welcomed all of us and was curious in everything. Memories include dinners and hikes and riding in the station wagon.

An Engine of Fossil Discovery Fights Its Own Extinction

For #fossilfriday, The New York Times has written a good article about the Paleontological Research Institution, what the museum means to the field of Paleontology, and its current financial situation (much improved even from a few weeks ago).

This is a great point. One senior faculty told me it is insulting for letter writers to count papers, grants, h-index, etc. They can count. The role is to comment on each of 3-5 papers that are sent out. Why are they significant in the field? The department may not have expertise in the field.

Infographic about the Paleontological Research institution. 94 years of research here. One of the 10 largest fossil collections in the USA, with 7 million specimens. 1.2 million users of their online content annually, 30,000 in person visitors 1,500 teachers use PRI for continuing education each year link to donate: https://www.priweb.org/donate

Infographic explaining that PRI needs to raise 1 million dollars by December 31st to pay off their mortgage, be free of that debt and continue future operations. They have already raised 2.1 million of the 3.1 million needed to pay this unexpected expense due to a major donor being unable to fulfill a long-term pledge

Some infographics about the Paleontological Research Institution, its continuing impact on research and education, and what is needed to keep this place around into the future after a major donor was unable to keep a pledge.

Keep them in mind! #FossilFriday #givingTuesday ⚒️🧪🦑

Love this photo -- am showing it to the field geophysics class when we talk about the EM31. So much more fun to drag than to carry😀
