Fun!
Proud of my Midwestern University research students who did a fabulous job presenting their research at the on-campus Kenneth A Suarez Research Day on Friday!
Fun visit last week to the American Museum of Natural History! Such impressive displays of giant fossil turtles, dinos, and more.

🐢 I had a fantastic time visiting Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai University and giving a guest lecture on turtle evolution!
Turtle evolution provides a unique window into the biology of skeletal form, function, and adaptation
New Special Issue exploring brain injury in nonhuman animal models. From woodpeckers to muskoxen, species that naturally endure head impacts may hold clues to resilience against brain injury

Awesome! I look forward to chatting.
And I'll check around and see if there are any ceratopsian squishies hiding in my office :)
I'll be there! Looking forward to seeing you
Looking forward to speaking at Mt. Sinai today about how turtle evolution offers unique insights into the biology of skeletal form, function, and adaptation!

I recently had the opportunity to visit the tracksite of Dinosaur Ridge, Colorado to see the beautiful fossilized tracks from hadrosaurs, sauropods, ornithomimids, and crocodilians.

Thank you to the Geology club at Glendale Community College for the invitation to speak with them about paleontology and turtle evolution. Such a fun group!
Yes, both! My favorites 🐢❤️
Excellent museum research trip earlier this week to the collections at Denver Museum of Nature & Science to study Cretaceous turtles and dinosaurs
A great few days at the American Association of Biological Anthropologists conference representing The Anatomical Record!
It was a pleasure connecting with authors (past, present, and emerging) at the AR booth, and hearing about the latest in biological anthropology research.
📢 Call for Papers! We invite submissions for special issue “Development, Evolution, and Comparative Anatomy of the Larynx.” This issue aims to highlight interdisciplinary work exploring the development, evolution, and structure–function relationships of the larynx across species.
📅 Deadline: Sep 15
TBI is not just for humans!
In 2023 I organized a symposium for researchers studying head impacts in non-model species. The result, a thematic issue in @anatrecord.bsky.social combining 7 papers, from helmeted hornbills to muskoxen.
The introduction came out today! doi.org/10.1002/ar.7...

From evolution of eyes & ears to cutting-edge imaging of sensory anatomy, new issue explores how vertebrate senses guide adaptive responses in a complex world. Shared theme: sensing cues in an expansive environment shaped vertebrate radiation

New research reveals first comprehensive hypothesis of soft-tissue anatomy in ceratopsid dinosaurs. Reconstruction of Triceratops’ nasal nerves, glands & respiratory turbinates suggests unique innervation and head-cooling adaptations.

🦖Bristol Channel reveals a new early croc relative! Bodenham et al describe Galahadosuchus jonesi, sister to Terrestrisuchus gracilis and part of Saltoposuchidae—a swift, erect runner from just before the end-Triassic extinction.

Incredibly proud of my talented Menefee Paleo team who absolutely crushed it at WAVP 2026. Harry Brand won the early career podium presentation award, and Jessie Silverstein won the early career poster award
Thanks to Andy Farke & the amazing team at @alfpaleo.bsky.social for an awesome conference!
Excellent collections visit to the Raymond Alf Museum! We're describing a new geoemydid (pond turtle) from the Fayum, Egypt
Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science!
Thanks to the amazing mentors and role models who supported and inspired me along the way. Here’s to the next generation of scientists who will uncover the stories still buried in beneath the surface!
Thrilled to share that our new #OA paper is out in @anatrecord.bsky.social! You like horned dinosaurs including famous Triceratops? we provide the the first comprehensive hypothesis on their soft‐tissue anatomy, based on detailed comparisons with living reptiles! doi.org/10.1002/ar.7...
Our latest issue is live! anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/19328494...
The cover features an exciting new Homo habilis specimen from Ileret, Kenya by Fred Grine and colleagues: anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Yep, it's the same genus, Archelon!
Cool specimens at the Tucson gem and mineral show
The Menefee Paleo Project’s abstracts have been accepted for presentation at the 2026 WAVP conference. Our contributions will feature turtle provinciality in the Campanian of Laramidia, Tsaya Canyon actinopterygians, Menefee coprolites & fossil turtle shell taphonomy & ichnotaxa.

When scaled at equalized forces and skull lengths, tyrannosauroids had lower stress magnitudes than non-tyrannosauroid theropods, indicative of specialized predation capability.
