Very happy to have been part of this collaboration and give a #FossilFriday perspective to the amazing work led by Xilan Yang and Tom Beeckman. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Submitted my second grant of the year for demand management. Getting closer to my scheduled sleeping time (in October).

Spent the week "dressing for the job I want, not the one I have". I might have had the #WorldCup in the background, but I aspire to keep doing that when I'm the Dean. Thank you @anapineda.bsky.social for organizing, amazing content as usual. Bring in #GrantSeason, I'm getting funded this year.

This #FossilFriday we welcomed Dr Artai Santos from @uniofaberdeen.bsky.social to our Evo-Devo seminar. Artai shared amazing findings on Cretaceous seagrasses with evidence of herbivory from El Chango, México. #palaeobotany #EvoDevo @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social @instmolplantsci.bsky.social

The #nonseedUK26 meeting will be held at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh on 15th December 2026. Please save the date. Further details will follow 😃

Interested in fossils, evo-devo, and how mathematical modeling can help us understand the evolution of developmental processes? In our latest preprint, we uncover an ancestral lateral inhibition mechanism underlying epidermal patterning in liverworts.

Biosignatures aren’t always simply life or not life. I am excited to share our recent paper where we discuss a process-driven approach to interpreting ancient rocks, focusing on how multiple signals interact over time rather than binary biotic vs. abiotic outcomes. www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Very happy and proud to share our article that is part of the special issue of Ecología Austral on the gender dimension in Latin American ecology. ojs.ecologiaaustral.com.ar/index.php/Ecol…

It's #FossilFriday! Great time to check out our new paper if you haven't yet. #Palaeobotany #JurassicPlants

Excited to share our recent paper @newphyt.bsky.social where we describe evidence of a Jurassic nurse log from Scotland! Great work led by @anajusagasti.bsky.social Sophie Burne and @jeremywyman.bsky.social @instmolplantsci.bsky.social 🧵 👇 1/6 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Our recent paper @newphyt.bsky.social @anajusagasti.bsky.social @instmolplantsci.bsky.social is featured today in the Sunday Post! Thanks Sally McDonald for your piece helping to promote and communicate Scotland’s rich fossil heritage nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Decay stages of Jurassic wood debris from Scotland: evidence for the coevolution of fungal rot, arthropods and the nurse log strategy

A key feature of extant conifer forests is the high percentage of seeds that germinate and establish on dead wood; in some forests, this can exceed 90%. This deadwood can act as an ideal nursery for...

#FossilFriday at Wardie Bay with @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social geoscience students. We found Stigmaria roots, fossil coprolites, some fern leaves, and even a fish! The weather was nice and all.

My husband is playing football, my son actually went to sleep, I'm in the dark with tea and chocolate enjoying the hell out of this.
