heads up! The FM Grainger Bioinformatics Center is soliciting proposals for a 2-year postdoctoral research project relating to the bioinformatics of emerging pathogens. Think integration of bioinformatics, pathogen research, and collections. Comes w/ a research budget $20k/year!

Among saurischians, Tyrannosaurus samples yielded the lowest metabolic rates. Giant sauropods and theropods were true endotherms, rather than gigantotherms.

Very excited to welcome postdoc Yosef Kiat to the O'Connor lab! He is an ornithologist studying the ecology and evolution of feather molt from fieldwork/collections and we're going to use his expertise to better understand Mesozoic paravians (see our 2020 Microraptor moult paper)

New paper today led by Han Hu on the 3D skull of Jeholornis! In addition to the bones, we managed to get some nice insights regarding the sclerotic rings and the endocast: Jeholornis was probably diurnal and had relatively good sense of smell academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/adv…
