Identifying the Big Questions in paleontology: a community-driven project
In time for #FossilFriday, a new paper by Jansen Smith and many paleontologists (including me) on what questions the field may focus on in the coming decade

Why doesn't India have a national research museum for natural history? How does this absence affect conservation efforts? Here are my thoughts.

The journal, Paleobiology, is 50 years old! Nice overview here of the last half century: Patzkowsky M, Kiessling W. Introduction: Fifty years of Paleobiology. Paleobiology. 2025;51(1):1-7. doi:10.1017/pab.2025.4

Simplified flowchart illustrating generalised steps in palaeobiological research processes and the various factors that introduce inequity with regard to data collection, storage, study, analysis, publication, and reuse.
Delighted to share our paper on data equity in #palaeobiology as part of Paleobiology's 50th anniversary issue 🥳
We look at how palaeo data is collected, stored, curated & shared, and how equity in these processes is crucial for our field's future (1/n) 🧪⚒️
