Want to help mobilize mammal specimen trait data for research, education, and outreach? See 🧵below! This is part of our U.S. National Science Foundation funded ranges-network.org project, aimed at digitizing traits from >1M western North American #mammal specimens from 19 natural history #museums.

My lab brother's paper is out!!

🌟✨With Hispanic and Latinx Heritage Month in full swing, we’re excited to continue spotlighting our community's incredible Hispanic and Latinx members. 👏🎓This week, we’re thrilled to hear from Professor Jeff Wilson Mantilla! 📖Read Jeff's story here: myumi.ch/Rm2eD

Just wrapped up describing the anatomy of this new turtle collected from 'intertrappean' horizons near Karnataka, India in 2023. A really interesting and beautiful specimen, prepared by Bill Sanders. On to the systematics! (Kurmademys cast at L; Sankuchemys cast in background.)

Huge thanks to our volunteers for making this year's ID Day University of Michigan Museum of Natural History a success! Your efforts helped identify over 300 artifacts, including a sauropod bone! Learn more: lsa.umich.edu/paleontology/n…

Happy #NationalFossilDay! To the left is a silicified tree trunk from Shokpakty-Ozek, a Late Cretaceous vertebrate locality in Zhetysu Region, Kazakhstan. To the right is a fossil hagfish from the Cretaceous of Lebanon. Happy Hagfish Day @reallyoldfish Matt Friedman!

You won’t wanna miss the Evolution of Mammal Life Histories Symposium @ #2024SVP! Killer lineup, spanning early synapsids to Paleogene mammals. Be there or be a square non-synapsid vertebrate 😉 #ThinSectionThursday Dr Elsa Panciroli Greg Funston SVP

I passed my dissertation defense on Tuesday!! Thank you to all who have supported me along the way!! 🦒🦌🐃🐐🦬

This work led by Will Brightly made it to the cover or AJB! Botanical Society of America

Huge congrats to Dr. Alexa Wimberly who successfully defended her dissertation this week. There are many good things to come from Alexa, so keep an eye open! We'll miss her UChicago Paleobiology but she'll rock in her post doc at the AMNH!

Congrats to @umich undergrads Anna Zhao (L) and Abby Waller (R), who are on their way to Minneapolis to attend #2024SVP thanks to Stocker-Nesbitt Professional Development in Paleontology Awards!

Not a complete picture of active UM Paleontology folks at #2024SVP, but close enough. To include all folks who’ve passed through, it would take a better camera. #LeadersAndBest

. Loyola University, College of Arts and Sciences had an epic showing at #SVP2024. Such a pleasure to enjoy this epic conference with an incredible group of students.

Thanks for a very short (I only could attend for 1 day), but amazing @SVP 2025 in Minneapolis! 🤩💚 I really enjoyed the integrative approach of the symposium on 'Mammalian Life Histories' - so delighted for the opportunity to be part of this session! 🥚🦴🩻🔬🐭

What a week in Denver! Thank you to the folks at CU Boulder and Denver Museum for hosting me, I had a great time!

Honored to be recognized for my North American Paleontological Convention 2024 presentation! Thanks to everyone who put together such an amazing conference.
