Interested in ants, dad jokes, and insect puns (not necessarily in that order)? I had so much fun talking about ant fossils and evolution in this podcast! 👈👈🐜 (attempted ant finger guns - tarsal claw guns?)
Episode 164: Ants

Since modern ants can pretty much do it all, is there anything to be surprised about when we examine their fossil record? Dr Christine Sosiak introduces us to the HELL ANTS!

Upping this again one week before the deadline! If you're interested in ecology, plants, insects, fossils, new methods and more, please consider applying! Lots of potential routes to answer these questions, and a beautiful (if cold!) setting to do so in!
Pls repost!

Please come join us and help us unravel deep-time community dynamics in bugs and plants! Edmonton is a great city to live in and there are lots of different approaches to tackle these questions!

Finally made the (long-overdue) switch to Bluesky and can start posting about bugs and fossils again 🐜⚒️ (tragically no fossil emojis so have a dubious rock hammer instead)
