What a pleasure to visit the palaeontological collections of the National Museums of Kenya and bump into my friends Cecilia Kanyua and @martapina.bsky.social!
🔬🦴Thank you to all the NMK staff for your help facilitating my visit and study of fossil hyracoid teeth for my NWO Veni project! ❤️🙏

📻 🎧 Het was zo leuk om mee te werken aan het nieuwe seizoen van Zo Klonk Nederland van Vroege Vogels - BNNVARA! 🌳 🌿 Kom met ons mee op safari door tropisch Nederland in het Eoceen (47 miljoen jaar geleden) en luister naar de gekke en schattige beestje die we tegenkwamen 🐒 🦘🐎

Een tropische wereld | Zo Klonk Nederland: Van Dino tot Mensaap
Nederland is 47 miljoen jaar geleden een tropische wereld. In het regenwoud zoeken we naar een halfaapje en proberen we de mysterieuze trogon te zien te krijgen.

Thank you @guillbi.bsky.social for hosting me at the fossil mammal collections at the @mnhn.fr in Paris and for showing me so many beautiful fossils of South American Native Ungulates 🤗 🦴

It was such fun to give a short talk at @naturalis.bsky.social colloquium and introduce myself to our diverse group of researchers! I am still very much in the data collection-part of my current VENI-fellowship, but hope to be able to share some preliminary results soon 🤓🍃🌍🦴🐂🦌

Ever wanted to infer a morphological or total-evidence phylogeny in BEAST2?
It’s long overdue, but we now have a tutorial on Taming the BEAST to talk you through the process 💻🌳⚙️
Thanks to Joëlle Barido-Sottani for helping me pull this together!

Data collection for my VENI project on notoungulate and hyracoid evolution is going well! Visiting the vertebrate paleontology collections at the Museo de La Plata was a dream - mostly because I had three amazing student from
the Universidad Nacional de La Plata working with me! ✨ muchas gracias ❤️🧉

Today I had one of those pinch-me moments when I was allowed to practice my scanning skills using *real* dino bones out of @naturalis.bsky.social' Dino Lab 🦖🦕✨ Handling fossils that old.... will never get old 🙃

New office! I've started my 3-year NWO (Dutch Research Council) Veni Fellowship at @naturalis.bsky.social 👩‍🏫 I'll be looking at millions of years of hyracoid and notoungulate evolution across major global climate change. 🌎 🦛 🐀 🌿 🌍 I'm excited to find out more about these diverse critters! 🦴
