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! ❤️🙏

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 🤓🍃🌍🦴🐂🦌

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! 🦴
