Office view!

Possibly the weirdest fossil teleost🐟you'll see today? Check it out in our new preprint out in bioRxiv, with Giorgio Carnevale biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thread 1/4

I'm incredibly humbled to be 1 out of 3 #paleontologists (representing Hopkins PaLEO Lab and Johns Hopkins University) featured in Mike Benton's new book: Just 10 years ago, I was a curious undergrad using the last edition to study for my exams - dreaming of a future in our field! 🦕🦖

What a great opportunity for grad students and postdocs ⬇️

First day of school 🤩

We are hiring! Position open for a new assistant professor in the Department of Biophysics & Biophysical Chemistry in Johns Hopkins Medicine . Considering all areas in experimental and computational biophysics. Please spread the word. apply.interfolio.com/154014

Applications are open for the Graduate Program at Functional Anatomy and Evolution, Johns Hopkins at Johns Hopkins Medicine. If you are interested in combining the fossil record with developmental biology to answer questions regarding evolutionary novelty, don't hesitate to email me! fae.johnshopkins.edu/people/faculty/

For this #FossilFriday, my team celebrates our new members, new collaborators [👩‍🏫|⚛️|🚀], and an incredibly productive week ... - incl. exciting thesis chapters & research projects, new data [📊], funding applications, a lot of support [💚], manuscripts, & reviews!

After a busy week, I'm excited to share that I've accepted a secondary affiliation with Johns Hopkins Medicine through the wonderful Center for Functional Anatomy and Evolution (Functional Anatomy and Evolution, Johns Hopkins)! 🤩 #evolution #MolecularPaleobiology #biosignatures

It's the season for grad school and postdoc applications - fingers crossed for all of you! Check out opportunities in the Dept. of Earth & Planetary Sciences [JHU Earth & Planetary Sciences] and the Center for Functional Anatomy & Evolution [Functional Anatomy and Evolution, Johns Hopkins]!

Huge congrats to all grad students in the lab for getting their abstracts accepted for talks in the upcoming conference season! Learn more about the #evolution of metabolic strategies with Megan [🧬🦖], and the evolution of #biomineralization with Liam [🔬🪸]! #ProudPI 😊

Thanks to Pjotr Meyvisch for sharing exciting [spectroscopy pun intended!] new insights into single-cell #biosignatures with our team here JHU Earth & Planetary Sciences and Functional Anatomy and Evolution, Johns Hopkins! 🔬🦠🧪🔆🌊🌎 #spectroscopy #MolecularPaleobiology #fossils #dinos #astrobiology #MarineEcology #geochemistry

It's been 3 months since the official opening of our lab - and my team has been busy! So if you're curious about research in our group, check out our presentations at SICB, PalAss (maybe), & the MA Geobiology meeting! [Post 1/3] #biosignatures #paleobiology #fossils

Fur colors in the ancestors of mammals support a nocturnal lifestyle! Colors diversified only after the extinction of the #dinosaurs. Here are my thoughts on this exciting new study by Li et al. in Science Magazine! Johns Hopkins University Hopkins PaLEO Lab science.org/content/articl….

Living the dream ... 🤩 Hopkins PaLEO Lab #spectroscopy #biosignatures #paleontology #astrobiology

Congratulations to 1⃣-year PhD student Liam Olden for finishing a fantastic year with a funded field work grant [🏔️] and admission to the International Geobiology Course [🦠]! Enjoy your summer museum trips and field adventures!😊 #geobiology #paleontology #biosignatures

Congratulations to 1⃣-year PhD student Megan Miller for finishing a fantastic year with 2 impressive discoveries [🐭🐣], a funded museum grant [🦴] and a very fancy and well-deserved #paleontology award [🦕]! Enjoy your unix summer adventure💻☀️ #genomics #biosignatures

Our lab is evolving! 🤩 We are so excited to welcome Dr. Mariana Haase [Mariana Haase] & Dr. Pjotr Meyvisch as postdoc fellows, and PI Dr. Tom Nordheim from APL as a sabbatical visitor! On to new scientific adventures at the interface of biology, chemistry, physics, & robotics!
