Lecturer in Palaeobiology at University of Southampton ––– trying to understand how environmental change has impacted oceans and the animals that live in them through Earth's history |he/him|

Heard from a former (undergrad) student who just defended her PhD. Students: tell your old profs about your successes and achievements. It's not bragging, and we love to hear about it. It's one of the best parts of being an educator. #academicsky

Really excited for this talk by @richardstockey.bsky.social next week! You won't want to miss it! I hear he'll even be announcing a new R package 📦?! 😯🤫

Really sad to report that our friend and colleague Richard Fortey passed away this morning after a short battle with cancer. We’ll all miss his wit and wisdom. Here he is checking out a dino footprint we found while filming together on the Isle of Wight

A very pointless & unproductive thing I did is analyze electoral durations of U.S. House Representatives. Two superficial similarities to Phanerozoic taxon durations jump out: (1) declining turnover rates through time & (2) the election of 1932 was basically the P-Tr mass extinction for Republicans.

Not sure if #FossilFriday is a thing here, but just in case here's sunrise and sunset on a 4x4-cm landscape of brachiopods, bryozoans, and crinoid fragments from the Late Ordovician Ellis Bay Formation of Anticosti Island, Québec. Imaged with a Keyence vhx-7000.
