Best conference logo ever!!! 😍 The Invertebrate Paleo Lab Museum of Comparative Zoology Harvard Organismic & Evolutionary Biology is totally visiting beautiful Chile 🇨🇱 next year to share some Cambrian and Ordovician creatures 🤩

JOB! The Division of Paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History seeks an Assistant Curator of Invertebrate Paleontology to start on or after 1st July 2025. For more information see the website: careers.amnh.org/postings/4301

🚨Another little promotional piece, this time from our collaborators in Utah. I hope this blog post will help, even in a small way, to raise awareness among Utahns about the fantastic Cambrian paleontological archive their state holds.
