Opportunity to work with @AlexisLicht on cool Eocene fossils from Balkanatolia! It is such a bizarre island fauna from what is now Turkey and the Balkans.

#FossilFriday Esther Richards was born November 24, 1895. In 1921, she suggested that microfossils could be used in stratigraphy. Her study was ridiculed by Professor J.J. Galloway: “Gentlemen, you know that it can’t be done.” wp.me/p3ihHu-4DF #WomenInSTEM #histsci

An intriguing characterization of osteochondrogenic #SmoothMuscleCell in Atherosclerotic lesions ⏬by TXNIP ⏫by BMP2 Contribute to lesion fibrosis, proteoglycan accumulation & calcification w/o modifying lesion burden Circulation Research 2023 ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…

How do "molecular motors" fold the genome? A new #SciencePerspective looks at insights that are starting to yield an understanding of the mechanism by which these motors extrude loops of #DNA to structure genomes. scim.ag/4X7

Paleontology is a multi-faceted field of science and acts as an introduction to understanding the evolution of life. Excellent video by Isaac Wilson on why we study paleontology and its importance. #Dinosaurs #Paleontology #Science #STEM youtu.be/QwnbsmXrqG8?si…

Why are not all whales dead from cancer? A simple calculation reveals that all other things equal, an animal 1000 times larger than us should be a thousand times more prone to develop cancer. This is not the case. Why? Maths suggests an answer Carlo Maley royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/abs/10.109…

Cool article in nature on the fundamentally geological nature of the global biodiversification: "...biodiversity is strongly reliant on landscape dynamics, which ...determine the carrying capacity..." cc: Niles Eldredge João Bruce S.

In mice, pregnancy results in new neurons that support the recognition of pups, a new Science study finds. The results highlight the physiological relevance of adult stem cell heterogeneity. 📄: scim.ag/50j #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/50i

New paper! Welcome Diaphorocetus ortegai! Yes... another physeteroid from the Chilcatacy Fm., Pisco basin. How many more sperm whales await to be found/described? More than a dozen 😬😬😬 Open Access paper here: sciencepress.mnhn.fr/en/periodiques…

Wrapping up the week by visualizing the crazy axonal growth of dorsal root ganglia neurons in vitro using the SPY650-FastAct probe from Spirochrome! 🤩 Capturing one image every 10 minutes.

Tooth formation in wild boar & domestic pigs reveals fascinating differences! Dentin apposition rates vary across zones. Root growth spurt timing & rates differ b/w them, hinting at impact of domestication on odontoblast recruitment. Emken et al.: doi.org/10.1002/ar.253…

Blue holes in the Bahamas were discovered to be a rich source of well-preserved skeletons of extinct species of tortoises and crocodiles. Online Exhibit 🐊 Rare, Beautiful & Fascinating 🎧 Read and listen to David Steadman: floridamuseum.ufl.edu/100-years/obje… Featured: Crocodylus rhombifer

Yes! "we no longer require a research paper to test a hypothesis; instead, it is sufficient for it to address a significant question of relevance to JEB's areas of interest. We feel that this will allow for more discovery-based studies to be considered for publication"
