It was really great to hear everyone's exciting new research at GSA! ✨
I had a great time sharing a bit about what I've been thinking most about recently at work: old tiny fossils from the Grand Canyon, carbonate petrology, and early eukaryotic ecology!

We measured redox around decaying organisms. Turns out, the bigger and richer in protein you are, the more easily reducing conditions form around you after death, making you more likely to get mineralized and become a fossil (?).
