A group of people walking in single file across a narrow trail or bridge in a wooded area during autumn. Fallen leaves cover the path and the ground below, with a small stream running underneath. The hikers are wearing casual clothing and backpacks, and the surrounding trees have colorful fall foliage. Five people sitting on the ground outdoors, gathered around a circular hoop divided into four sections with yellow string. Each person has a notebook or clipboard with a diagram of a circle and is writing or pointing toward the hoop. Fallen leaves and grass are scattered on the ground. A group of children dressed in winter jackets and hats standing near the edge of a frozen lake, facing the water. They are gathered around an adult who appears to be leading an outdoor activity. A wooden bench is in the foreground, and bare trees surround the lake under a partly cloudy blue sky.

BREAKING: Lindsey Dougherty just FLIPPED Virginia’s HD-75!

As a senior research administrator at VCU, Lindsey has seen firsthand how the GOP’s extremist DOGE cuts have decimated critical research initiatives and jobs in her community. She’ll be a powerful voice in Richmond!

As DH grows, it’s increasingly important to publish conference papers, but there hasn’t been a clear venue for that.

So I’m thrilled to share this new home for DH proceedings, which will include CHR papers & more.

Thanks to @taylor-arnold.bsky.social for leading this effort!

Look, brachiopod encrustation might not be the sexiest area of paleoecology, but it is surprisingly data rich. And that's sexy science.
