Tired of flattened early bird fossils? Today is your lucky day. Very happy to finally welcome 'Navaornis hestiae' to the world! It allowed us to see for the first time a (near)complete enantiornithine brain. Today in nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… #spinningskull

TREES (NERC TREES Doctoral Landscape Award) – a major new initiative for PhD studentships in environmental science led by three @UCL departments (EarthSciences UCL, UCL Geography & GEE UCLbiosciences) and involving ten universities and research institutes... ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/nov/…

🌱 Announcing TREES! 🌍 The NERC-funded Doctoral Landscape Award led by UCL & partners will train future environmental scientists through interdisciplinary research and a commitment to EDI & sustainability. 🔗 Learn more: trees-dla.ac.uk
