And that’s it! The first Paleontology of non-avian Reptiles course at the University of São Paulo 📚 has come to an end with an amazing seminar session!

Couldn’t ask for a better class. Thanks to all the students for trusting this humble postdoc!

Having my first teaching experience as a postdoc here at the University of São Paulo 📚

I’m learning a lot from students and their feedback will help me grow professionally.

Teaching vertebrate paleontology is a dream come true! #academiclife #paleontology

Hi everyone ! I'm Daniel Martins, a vertebrate paleontology PhD student at the University of Brasília, Brazil.

I'm in love with fossil archosaurs in general, but pseudosuchians hold a special place in my heart !
