"It’s almost as though the government’s lawyers don’t know there’s a Constitution out there..." @joycewhitevance.bsky.social

part of the fauna is probably in the sharks and rays. Keen eyes will notice that some prominent taxa are missing here. This is mostly due to the stratigraphy of the Wadi being an absolute nightmare.While single members are relatively well defined, how they relate to each other...

Result from the Wadi al Hitan #paleostream!
The "valley of the whales" as it is better known is a classic locality from the late Eocene of Egypt. Most famously it is place filled with the remains of early whales, Archaeoceti, but it's less straight forward as a piece than one...

A black-and-white pencil sketch of a shark, Physogaleus, nibbling on the tattered edge of a severed head of the whale Basilosaurus. The large head is lying on its side on the seafloor with mouth wide open, while the shark’s body is very curvy as it attempts to slice off a bite. Near the head on the seafloor is a much smaller crab.

Quick sketch of the tiger-shark-cousin Physogaleus nibbling on the severed head of what would normally be its predator, Basilosaurus. A scene in the shallow waters of late Eocene Egypt, sketched during the Wadi-El-Hitan formation #Paleostream. #paleoart #sciart #shark #whale

Late Glacial to Early Holocene Vegetation Reconstruction from the Wenas Creek Mammoth Site in Washington State The Wenas Creek Mammoth site pollen record, which extends from ∼20,000–10,000 cal yr BP, is significant given that few eastern Cascade paleoecological records span the Late Glacial to Early Holocen...

Happy #FossilFriday here is a wee climate paper that I coauthored. We found that 20kya eastern Washington was drying and warming up and chasing away all the pesky pine trees (ew, trees).

As usual with pleistocene stuff, my job was figuring out how old all the dirt was (age-depth modelling)

How I always imagined it happened. Dangerous large mammals.

The pride and power of Iowa State basketball's Audi Crooks Audi Crooks hears the haters. But Iowa State's star inherited resilience from her mom and joy from her dad. Her high-scoring game is the ultimate counterpoint.

Spent some time in Iowa and went long on Iowa State’s Audi Crooks. Despite her dominance, she deals with a lot of negativity, especially about her body. But no matter what is said about her, Audi Crooks wears a smile. www.espn.com/womens-colle...

On this International Women’s Day, I cannot stop thinking about all the girls in Iran, in Sudan, in Gaza, and so may places — girls whose lives were snuffed out in conflicts they played no part in, before they could ever become women.

And I am thinking about their mothers.

Ah. This is 'that' skull. One of two records of the southern mammoth in North America....or not? (depends on who you ask).

Next week at #PalaeoPERCS we will be joined by Leticia Rezende de Oliveira from Federal University of Santa Maria, Brazil. Sign up here: https://paleopercs.com/participate/

These cancellations were so much more horrible for other people than for me personally, as my fellowship was coming to an end. Huge losses to hundreds of people and dozens of long term projects and ongoing relationships. The loss to humanities has been incalculable

"The DOGE employees did not appear to question ChatGPT’s judgments, and continued hunting for unacceptable projects. Two weeks later, they sent a master list of 1,477 problematic awards — nearly every active grant made during the Biden administration..." - Jennifer Schuessler

Screenshot of my DOGE letter “Dr. Joseph Rezek Dear NEH Grantee, This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement. Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFR§200.340. For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,

Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below

I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Hope all improves.

I'm having a really rough personal time.

But, on positive personal note, I've started talks with both Polish Consulate in Hong Kong and Beijing Women's Federation, to start series of activities related to promoting historical women in geosciences and palaeontology across China.

Marking #InternationalWomenDay2026 by reposting my illustration of Ichthyosaurs anningae, named for the truly remarkable and groundbreaking Mary Anning.

Keep telling myself, just one more minute before I'm out the door, and oh my goodness, so glad I have waited. More great words about the Rev Jackson and:

Opal Staples is *SUPERB*. What a gorgeous voice.

With the steady stream of unconstitutional attacks from Trump, RFK Jr, Vought and others in this administration, there’s a lot to stand up against. So get your main issue on a sign and join us!

Stand Up for Science is devoted to holding this administration accountable and fighting for scientific truth, and most programming will focus on that. This fight is also a fight for the future of democracy.

NATIONAL DAY of ACTION VIRTUAL ONLINE SATURDAY, MARCH 7TH, 12:00PM - 3:00PM

We're hosting a virtual rally for those who are not able to attend a March 7th National Day of Action event in person. We don't think structural barriers should prevent anyone from being able to participate in a movement that directly impacts their lives.

Densely packed fossil burrows in a gray limestone that look like pipes, some branching into "Y" shapes, and with knobby (pelleted) exteriors, with circular cross-sections.

For #FossilFriday, fossil ghost-shrimp burrows (ichnogenus Ophiomorpha) in Pleistocene limestone (125,000 years old), San Salvador Island, The Bahamas 🇧🇸. Co-leading a spring-break field course there with students from Emory & Oxford College of @emoryuniversity.bsky.social starting tomorrow. 🧪🪨⚒️🏝️🌊🐠🌿🦀

Truly disappointed to have to stop watching. Looking forward to catching the rest on the recorded version (here or on @c-span.bsky.social).

Me, too!!

Excited and honored to speak at the @standupforscience.bsky.social rally in DC tomorrow!

I hope to see you all out there, standing up for science (and democracy!) together. It is going to take all of us working in solidarity to demand a science that serves all of us.
