M. Krings, C. Harper & I are organizing a symposium for early career researchers:
-👤students to 2 years post PhD
-🌿 any #paleobotany or #palynology subject
- 💶 awards for the 3 best talks
We hope to gather a diversity of subjects & presenters. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions!
📣📣 The 12th European Paleobotany and Palynology Congress will take place September 20-24 in Münster 🇩🇪 🌿⛏️ Abstract submission will be opened from mid-April to May 31. All the information is now online here: www.uni-muenster.de/GeoPalaeonto...
#paleobotany #palynology #palaeobotany
Don't forget the 46th #AEA conference will be hosted by Lancashire University on 7th - 9th May 2026
Details can be found here: envarch.net/conferences
The abstract deadline is: 22nd February

Edward Smith Deevey Jr. (3 December 1914 – 29 November 1988), born in #AlbanyNewYork, was a prominent American #ecologist and #paleolimnologist, and an early protégé of #GEvelynHutchinson at #YaleUniversity. He was a creative pioneer in several areas, including quantitative #palynology.
I feel like I am back to Kangaroo Island while counting these modern pollen samples 😍🔥 a lovely mixture of Acacia, Banksia and other Proteaceae 🤓
Sorry pics not to scale (shot using the phone camera on microscope technique) 😅

This one looks attractive and I'd be curious to know who gets the position #palynology #palaeoecology

Happy #FossilFriday from under the microscope with this freshwater acritarch!
While we don’t know the full evolutionary tree of this tiny fellow, some people believe they may have descended from algal ancestors. Thanks @paleotrin.bsky.social !

I’m having real issues #focusstacking with #Helicon for these pollen grains. If anything it just seems to lose definition of features that can be seen in the individual photos. Happy to receive advice from any #palynology folk!
A trinocular microscope with a mounted Canon 90D camera displays a pollen grain which is also shown on the computer monitor.
One of the challenges of #palynology is that you don’t know if there is #pollen in your sample until right at the end of the process.
A stereo microscope sits on my desk with a rack holding eppendorf tubes. Each contains one tiny dried flower and hopefully some pollen. Next to it sits my old faithful centrifuge and on the top computer monitor is FreeCad with a new design to 3D print.
Tonight I had one job. No #invertebrates, it is #palynology night.

Simply dissect some herbarium specimens (tiny flowers about 3mm across). Filter them if possible and spin down the #pollen in the centrifuge to end up (hopefully) with a small yellow pellet at the bottom of the eppendorf.

Interesting bibliometric analysis of #palynology papers and NeotomaDB datasets noting that papers per year has peaked, but the number of international coauthorships has grown, suggesting that the field has reached a new stage of maturity journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... @neotomadb.bsky.social
It was a great day and everyone got so much out of it!

A woman in a floral button down shirt and tan pants stands at the front of the classroom, presenting her senior thesis. She is gesturing out towards the room while on a slide titled “geologic setting” and is explaining the background of where her rocks come from.
And with that, two years of work comes to an end (kinda, not really). So proud of this work and where it has taken me. #Devonian spores have a special place in my heart!

an AI-generated image of "several tricolporate pollen grains from different families, shown in polar and equatorial views", but really a nicely shaded display of intricate pasta types
If instead of video we ask only for images, we could use #OpenAI's #Dall-e3. For the prompt "several tricolporate pollen grains from different families, shown in polar and equatorial views", we get this wonderful display of pasta or colonial wasp nests. #palynology 🌿🧪
Maybe #Sora is meant to just produce fun videos for kids? This junk, in response to "tricolpate pollen grains viewed under light microscopy, in several plant families". These remind me of extinct Cretaceous Wodehousia pollen, (probably an extinct angiosperm lineage), but c'mon. #palynology 🌿🧪 1/2
oh dear, this is #OpenAI's #Sora's response to "several tricolporate pollen grains shown in polar and equatorial views". These do look a *little* like tiny bony fruits, but somehow it does not understand what "tri" might signify? #palynology #pollen 🧪🌿
Hello Bluesky! I have finally made it! Tom here, a fan of all things #diatoms #pollen #palynology, specialising in #geoarchaeology. And what better way to start a Friday than with a lovely pic of some diatoms collected from a UK #holocene core sequence undergoing #environemntal assessments 🔬😀
