So delighted to announce this #FossilFriday that I am joining the University of Tokyo as a project assistant professor in the University Museum! Looking forward to lots of new things here🤩

Hello #bluesky! In the regular meeting of the Paleontological Society of Japan this weekend, I'll be talking about my recent work on ceratopsid narial soft tissues, particularly using this lovely Triceratops housed at the Ibaraki Nature Museum! Happy #FossilFriday!
