New paper; old birds
#Enantiornithine birds were the dominant birds of the #Cretaceous, and our new study suggests that their #diets were as varied as living birds! Not only that, but they evolved this #diversity in #diet at a rate comparable to that of modern birds! (1/17)

🚨 Cretaceous bird diets varied as much as modern #bird diets & both evolved over similar time spans @eLife 🚨 Synthesis of @PaleoCase’s PhD work supervised by me & @BeekGeak in collaboration w/ #XLWang & #XTZheng: elifesciences.org/articles/8… #fossils @CUHKScience @CUHKofficial #biodiversity

Another job opening! I am hiring a postdoc in my lab at University College London to work on developing new phylogenetic comparative methods for modeling the evolution of complex phenotypes! Details here: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/search…
I’m not at #SICB2024, but everyone who is should check out @ananth_srinivas’s talk today, and also @amber_wagstaffe‘s poster on Friday
Curious about cranial Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and model validation? Join me for a discussion on strain validation using a 3D Scanning Laser Doppler Vibrometer in Alligator jaws at #SICB2024. Come see my talk today at 11 AM in room 615-616 during the DCB student session.
#BBSRC #postdoc #postdocjobs opportunity at Leeds! Join Pete Watson and me in figuring out how #bird skulls work. Would suit a mechanical/biomedical engineer, or someone with a strong computational #biomechanics #FEA #MDA Please RT! jobs.leeds.ac.uk/Vacancy.asp…

Shamelessly tagging folks who might know folks @jemilyr @AlanaCSharp @drphilcox @mehran_moazen @rfelice @dropanagio @JohnRHutchinson @NathanJeffery17 @GilesPalaeoLab @PalaeoStephan @fieldpalaeo
Very cool stuff from @ananth_srinivas coming up later today, make sure you’re there! #ICVM2023
Interested in cranial FEA and model validation? I’ll talk strain validation about using a 3D Scanning Laser Doppler Vibrometer in Alligator jaws. Come see my talk this afternoon at 2:15 PM at M7/M8. #ICVM2023
.@PaleoCase is excellent and should be hired
This #FossilFriday, I want to celebrate my #phdjourney looking at the #diet of #enantiornithine #birds under @PalaeoPittman and @BeekGeak, and to officially announce that I am looking for #postdoc and #academia positions! (1/16)
