Prof. Jasmina Wiemann has been selected for a prestigious Packard fellowship. This the first recognition of a paleobiologist by the Foundation!
That is 8 Packard Fellows in 6 years for Johns Hopkins University.

Our next speaker for #DinoConUK is Tess Gallagher!
Tess is a paleobiologist specialising in #sauropod integument. Her research began when she uncovered a ~75cm piece of Diplodocus skin while volunteering for the Elevation Science Institute. #Diplodocus skin has since been her main research subject.

A beautiful story, told from clues put together by paleobiologist @dmcediacaran.bsky.social and colleagues, that honours a Beothuk woman's words and layers earth's deep time with historical time and cosmic time as well.
Here is a writeup of our work on #Aninoides and how it helped us to uncover a little bit of Beothuk astronomy. Obviously :-)

Hi, I'm Brendan and I'm a paleobiologist who studies macroevolution and paleoclimate mostly using marine snails 🐌. I look at how they grow and age using isotope records in the shells.
My thesis was on how these snails (Vermicularia) evolved to get wormy and make reefs
