The origin of the mammalian ear is one of the most remarkable and well-studied transitions in vertebrate evolution. This is my attempt to explain it: deviantart.com/albertonykus/a… #SciArtTweetStorm #SciArt

For #FossilFriday I'm happy to announce our new Science Magazine paper on the extraordinary nocturnal sensory abilities of Shuvuuia and other alvarezsaur dinosaurs! Thanks to an amazing team, including Jonah Choiniere & BensonLabOxford! science.sciencemag.org/content/372/65…

I think about these 'samurai bats' often.

i make stuff sometimes!

The JB Johnston Club Spring Symposium on "Stress responses in the vertebrate forebrain" is only a few days away! You can still register here: flipcause.com/secure/cause_p… Students: Free Faculty: $5 Thank you to Smulders Lab for organizing, and we hope to see you there.

A new “golden ears?” Let’s not understate the importance of this surprising result. This is very, very cool. More broadly, modern neuro seems to have forgotten the importance of the bat as a fantastic model organism. Hope this pushes things in the right direction!

New cover! This fantastic bat photo comes from the featured article authors' lab. Read "Echolocating bats show species-specific variation in susceptibility to acoustic forward masking" for free this month! doi.org/10.1121/10.002… Grace Capshaw @LauerLab Clarice Diebold
