1/5 🚨I am pleased to introduce Setapedites abundantis, a new euchelicerate from the Fezouata Lagerstätte (Morrocco ~478 million years ago)!🚨 Pierre Gueriau Allison Daley Nature Communications Université de Lausanne Faculté Géosciences et Environnement - UNIL Institut des Sciences de la Terre - UNIL ANOM Lab nature.com/articles/s4146…

Lorenzo Lustri‘s PhD chapter on the description of the minute synziphosurine from the Ordovician Fezouata Shale of Morocco is finally published in Nature Communications 🎉. It closes the anatomical gap between euchelicerates and Cambrian stem taxa. Institut des Sciences de la Terre - UNIL IPANEMA Paris-Saclay CNRS Écologie & Environnement

Journal which in recent years has come under fire for publishing material acquired in illegal/unethical circumstances tries to rehabilitate its image by hiring as associate editor a notorious bully who had his funding taken away due to his treatment of students

Lots to digest in this piece - well worth 5 mins of your time to read. Though grim, the original study puts tangible numbers on the utterly shit situation that so many PhD grads + postdocs are finding themselves in right now 😔
