🚨Palaeoverse Lecture Series🚨 🗓️26th March 2026, 15:00 UTC🗓️ Join us next week for a talk by Brooke Long-Fox @brooke-long-fox.bsky.social from Phoenix Bioinformatics, on “Building open, reproducible palaeontology: a practical introduction to FAIR data and MorphoBank” 💻 bit.ly/palaeoverse-...

Thank you! I’m honored to join Historical Biology as Deputy Editor-in-Chief and looking forward to supporting strong, open, and reproducible research across paleobiology.

Historical Biology@historicalbiology.bsky.social · 6mo ago

For #FossilFriday, we're pleased to announce Dr. Brooke Long-Fox as our new deputy editor-in-chief! Dr. Brooke Long-Fox is a paleobiologist whose research explores how organisms respond to environmental change across spatial & temporal scales.

I’m excited to see MorphoBank receive a commendation award from SORTEE! 🎉 MorphoBank supports open and FAIR data (images, matrices, and specimen-linked) so research remain transparent, reproducible, and reusable. Open science requires infrastructure - and communities to sustain it. 💚
