I thought getting my paper out was the hardest thing. No, this was the hardest thing I have ever done: science.org/content/articl… I've been asked to look away, to let it remain in the shadows, but I am happy I put my foot down. Huge thanks go out to my supervisor Per Ahlberg !

OK, some more info about the DePalma paper! A🧵 1) Number of specimens: the paper states that “a total of 7 fossil adult polyodontids and 12 acipenserids were selected for histological analysis”, so 19 specimens in all. One of our main concerns with the paper - explained in 1/
