Friends, I am looking high and low for a someone who can come on my podcast and talk about living systems, abiogenesis, and hypothetical theories of types of life forms! Please share far and wide and help me locate an amazing podcast guest!
HEY Y'ALL! So, BIG news, I'm starting a podcast! It is called The Science of Life. In this podcast, I explore biology and other life sciences through a technical and social lens. If you are interested in being a guest on #TheScienceofLife, please visit the link in my bio!

my first paper of the year (and my first ever single author paper) has been finally published!

Do you work on fossil plants? Do you feel that your phylogenies are too uncertain? Don't fear uncertainty, EMBRACE IT! 🧪🌾🌱
Embracing uncertainty: The way forward in plant fossil phylogenetics
Although molecular phylogenetics remains the most widely used method of inferring the evolutionary history of living groups, the last decade has seen a renewed interest in morphological phylogenetics....

A new family of #liverwort has been found in #Hawaii! This is not a taxonomic change to an existing species. This is based on new fieldwork & analyses of a previously unknown genus and species. Hello, Kahakuloaceae! #Marchantiophyta #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪

Speaking of fossils, I don't feel like I've found my Paleo "tribe" here yet.

#FossilFriday and #TrilobiteTuesday don't seem to get the same reach as they did on the dead bird site.

Who should I be following? Should I post more of my collection? My Paleo #SciArt?

Eeee! I finally have my copy of @palaeogames.bsky.social and Dr Michael O'Sullivan's new #tabletopgaming #dinosaur guidebook! It was great being involved with a tiny part of the process, and I'm so pleased that #plants are getting some attention in this book! #FossilFriday #paleobotany #dnd

Up next is #Ginkgoites #patagonica, a species from the #Eocene of Argentina. This species had leaves with 2-8 narrow round-tiped lobes and is the youngest #Ginkgoales species from the southern hemisphere. #paleobotany #Ginkgo #paleoart #SciComm #plants

#Ginkgoites #waarensis is a Cenomanian species from the Chatham Islands of New Zealand. During the #Cretaceous, these islands were connected to Antarctica and would have experienced months of darkness during the winter. #paleobotany #paleoart #Ginkgo #SciComm #paleontology

Sticking to the southern hemisphere, here's #Ginkgoites #villardeseoanii, an interesting species from the latest #Cretaceous of Argentina. It's one of the more recently described Ginkgoites species and has lobes with characteristics flat and notched tips. #paleoart #paleobotany

Today's species is #Ginkgoites #myrioneurus; it hails from the Early #Cretaceous Muling Formation of China and is distinct in having many narrow round-tiped lobes with high vein density. It has also been associated with #Ginkgo-like long and short shoots. #paleobotany #paleoart

Today's species is one of the most unique I've come across: #Ginkgoites #houlinhensis (initially ascribed to #Ginkgo) was an East Asian #desert, or arid environment adapted #plant which has #xerophytic adaptations such as sunken stomata and hairs on the leaf surface. #paleobotany

I'm not sure how long I'll keep this up for, but I want to do a series highlighting each species of Ginkgoales I restored. First up is #Ginkgoites #pluripartita. This was a very widespread species, found across the northern hemisphere in Early Cretaceous rocks. 1/2 #FossilFriday #ginkgo #paleobotany
