Another paper from our NASA-funded project on ferns has dropped! UWyoming MS student Fern (really!) Holian, developed a new schema for classifying fossil ferns, which are understudied. 🧪🌿☄️
Application of a novel schema for describing fossil fern foliage and investigating taxonomic and morphological change across the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary in western North America
Premise The Chicxulub asteroid impact at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary triggered a mass extinction 66 million years ago. Ferns thrived in the aftermath of the extinction, evidenced by the.....

🪰 For #3DThursday, this #microCT scan of an adult #Drosphila (Schoborg et al.) captures the entire fly intact. Using #VR, we can teach anatomy by labeling the 3D fly from a 2D diagram. Spatial context changes everything. #SciComm

UWyoming being a member institution of UCAR but filing an amicus brief with the defendants is the most “short sighted greed” maneuver I’ve seen from a university in a while.

Hi All, I'm recruiting a new grad student to join my lab at UWyoming in Fall 2024. Broadly speaking, we work on speciation and adaptation in birds. More info about the opportunity is here: carlinglab.com/people/
Thanks for spreading the word.

For my trop met class, I need my students to be able to plot 1000-500 mb thickness using a simple web interface. NCEP/NCAR reanalysis only works through 2014. UWyoming not working. Plymouth State Univ website is great but plots based on upper air data - so not great for TC over ocean.

Any ideas??

UWyoming had already closed its DEI office last year in response to state legislation. A report from a working group the president created to examine DEI at the university offers a great look at administrators trying to figure out what exactly constitutes "DEI."

www.uwyo.edu/news/_files/...
Excerpt from the Working Group report: "DEI is a broad umbrella term encompassing a spectrum of ideals, values, and activities some of which are federally mandated, required for accreditation, and/or represent other unobjectionable activities. Through its work, the Working Group has found that in this broad sense DEI is integrated throughout higher education, including at the University of Wyoming. However, the legislative intent of the budget footnote appeared more focused on specific activities grouped with DEI efforts. In the absence of a definition of DEI within the budget footnote, the Working Group directed its attention toward other legislative language and laws from other states to draft a definition responsive to the perceived legislative intent. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts are defined as advocating, promoting, or funding a program, activity, or function that: 1. Advantages or disadvantages, or attempts to advantage or disadvantage, an individual or group on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, gender identity, or sexual orientation, to equalize or increase outcomes, participation or representation as compared to other individuals or groups; or 2. Promotes the position that the action of a group or an individual is inherently, unconsciously, or implicitly biased, privileged or inherently superior or inferior on the basis of color, sex, national origin, gender identity, or sexual orientation. " Excerpt from the Working Group report: "DEI programs, activities and functions: The Working Group has found that of the programs, activities, and functions reviewed so far, many are critical to the University's core mission or are considered a critical support service. The DEI office at the University of Wyoming is modest in size compared to counterparts at other institutions, and its primary focus is on supporting students in a manner consistent with Wyoming values. In addition, many of the DEI-related programs, activities, and functions across the University--not directly managed by the office--do not align with the issues making national headlines. However, some modification might be considered to ensure that there is no preferential treatment or exclusion of groups based on specific identities. For example:

I had to know so per sports-reference, Maravich and LSU played one game against UWyoming, 12-26-68, at a neutral site. I have not yet uncovered where this was.
