There were some amazing talks on fossil plants, insects and fungi at the #IPC #IOPC over the last couple of days. I presented my PhD research on plant-arthropod interactions too, thanks to everyone who came and asked me questions!

Congrats 🎉 to Holly-Anne Turner, Marcos Amores & Miriam Slodownik for their travel grants from the International Organisation of Palaeobotany. Here they're meeting Prof Harufumi Nishida, new IOP president #fossilfriday Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, UCC University of Adelaide Palaeontologists

The first meeting of Aussie (& Oz-adjacent) palaeo-plant people in Prague 🌿🇦🇺 Incl: Miriam Slodownik Dr. Vera Korasidis Anne-Marie Tosolini Paleo-Vivi Anita Milroy, David Cantrill, Steve McLoughlin, Maria Gandolfo, Andrews Drinnan and Rozefeld

Thanks IPC-IOPC 2020 and international org palaeobotany for your support and organising the conference! It has been a great week, seeing old friends, sparking new friendships, and research ideas!

*1 of 2*📢Out today📢If you want more precise and quicker (micro)fossil data collection, our new paper in PLOS One is for you! Good work Marcos Amores (Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, UCC) & Anthony Mays (Uni of Adelaide)🦴🐚🌿 #microfossils #digitalpalaeo

*2 of 2*... with 47 equations(!), we showed how and when to use the new method... but you don't need to do the calculations yourself (🧮🚫). Instead, Marcos Amores has developed a user-friendly app to deliver the results you need!🤖 Check it out here: github.com/Palaeomays/FOV…
