Such a joy to see this animal reconstructed and published. An honor to be part of the crew and to have worked on this remarkable specimen! I💚Iani

Join us this Thursday for a Juneteenth Edition of Science Conversations. We'll celebrate the work of two African-American researchers — Dr. Patricia Bath (surgical procedure for cataracts) & Dr. Mandë Holford (researches snail venoms and pain medications) bit.ly/3oYcb6a

Teachers, check this out! NC Museum of Natural Sciences is working on a project meant to introduce middle school students to paleontology, which will also benefit researchers around the globe. publicradioeast.org/2023-06-19/mid…

I'm a guest editor for a special issue in the Journal of Science Education and Technology that's all about using ENA in STEM education research. Here's the full call for proposals: bit.ly/JOSTENA Please share with colleagues, really looking forward to this!!

Weee’rrreee baaack! Happy 1st day of school for many #NorthCarolina students! And happy #MicrofossilMonday! Check out this gorgeous Pachycephalosaurus tooth we found in Montana this summer on Lindsay Zanno #dinodig23. Ready to see what our students find this year.

Bayshin Tsav has an insane amount of bone. First day prospecting I found 5 theropod claws, a therizinosaur humerus… oh yeah & a couple of hadrosaur skeletons too 🙄🤣 #MADEx23 #dinodig23 @natgeo

Calling 8th Grade Science Teachers from these North Carolina counties! Alleghany Anson Ashe Beaufort Bertie Bladen You are invited to participate in Cretaceous Creatures - a new, free project where students do real science w/ real fossils. DM to grab your spot now!

#LunchTimeDiscovery streams 2/7/2024 with Kamal Bell of @sankofafarms kicking off our Black History Month Series. Join us live at noon Eastern for "Cultivating Legacy: A Farmer's Journey to Climate Smart Agriculture" youtube.com/watch?v=68-rd5… N.C. DEQ NC Museum of Natural Sciences NC DNCR

Thanks to ⁦NASA⁩ astronaut Dr Kjell Lindgren for fascinating & inspiring presentation at ⁦NC Museum of Natural Sciences⁩ #astronomydays ! He’s been to International Space Station twice for total of 311 days. ⁦Kjell Lindgren⁩

It’s been a bit - been busy microfossiling. And so has Elise Flynn’s 8th graders at Polk County Middle! Making discoveries + making the news. We’re lucky to work w/ y’all. tryondailybulletin.com/2024/01/25/pcm…

Cretaceous Creatures has reached ~14k NC students who have ID'ed ~4k microfossils from near where the Dueling Dinosaurs were found in Montana! Our buddy Secretary Reid Wilson stopped to check out these big fuss over these tiny fossils. (L) Richardoestisia tooth (R) Lizard jaw.

Including a public science project allowing students to discover real microfossils from sediment buried near the #Duelingdinosaurs fossil and send them to NC Museum of Natural Sciences for research called CretaceousCreatures

Cretaceous Creatures is wrapping up Year 2 & getting ready for Year 3! Registration is OPEN for #northcarolina teachers in the below counties! Partner w/ our #paleontologists: cretaceouscreatures.org/get-involved-n… #publicscience #microfossils #learninghappenshere

Very excited to share that we’ve found a skeleton (w/skull) of a new genus of Coniacian-Santonian ankylosaur! 🤩 filling a big glaring hole in North American dinosaur evolution #dinodig24

For #FossilFriday, Dr Headbutt 🐏 she/her 🌈💙 & I have a new paper out on the definition, usage, & protocol regarding the term "headbutting/head-butting/head butting" in dome-headed fossil taxa! What exactly is "headbutting"? Why a domed-head? Are domes rare? Read the paper to find out!
