Paleontologist and department head at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville who is happiest hanging out with my family, my students, my brachiopods, and thinking about all things paleoecology, biogeography, and evolutionary in (mostly) the Ordovician.
On Saturday November 15, 2025 we will open the call to submit proposals for the Analytical Paleobiology School 2026 for grad students in Erlangen for a training in analytical methods. Do you want to join or send someone? More info and details: www.paleosynthesis.nat.fau.de/science-scho...

π¨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
