Hollywood sandworm vs. the real thing.🙃 More on the amazing anatomical details that our @UTexasCT helped reveal: jsg.utexas.edu/news/2024/02/…

Adding another beautiful parrotfish to the dataset! This is Chlorurus strongylocephalus another "Steephead parrotfish". These guys inhabit the Indian Ocean and use their huge beaks to excavate coral skeletons. Shoutout UT Austin for the scans! #backdatwrasseup

What can scientists expect to find in the #OSIRISREx asteroid sample that arrived on Earth this week? The Jackson School's @Romydsch & collaborators provide predictions based on studying the asteroid's geology remotely 🛰️ sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Had a blast hosting both Geology and RTX short courses here @txgeosciences It's always great to teach others the ins and outs of µCT analysis. We're looking forward to our Biology and Paleontology focused course next week!

Behold the crowning achievement of the #backdatwrasseup scanning initiative! This is the humphead parrotfish, the largest parrotfish in the world! This one was 71 cm long but they get even bigger. We had to fly all the way to Japan to get it, and it was too large to ship whole

#NoCTURN2023 was an amazing time. Such great ideas, such great conversation. And even though we didn’t fix all the problems yet…the good news is we have 2 more years of bringing everyone together! Keep up with the monthly meetings, and see you in 2024!
