Saint Lucy’s Day, 13 December, means baking ‘lussekatter’ - ‘Lucy’s Cats’ - which are soft, sweet saffron buns made into shapes the significance of which is lost in antiquity. Just out of the oven! I wish 🦋 had smell-o-vision.

Yesterday I picked up a fun Swedish language (Svenska) book that has been surprisingly useful and enjoyable to read. This evening my new phone case came in the mail. The rest of this evening will involve writing, segmenting, drawing and an old fashioned.

Re‐evaluation of a soft crested Edmontosaurin, with implications for hadrosaurid life appearance and diversity
Hadrosaurid dinosaurs are generally regarded as “crested” or “non-crested” depending on the presence or absence of a bony cranial crest. At least one supposedly “non-crested” hadrosaur is known to ha...

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for Centuriavis lioae, a 10 million year old fossil relative of turkeys. It was a lot of fun describing this stunning specimen with Catherine Early, Kate Dzikiewicz, and Amy Balanoff. The fossil is named after our amazing museum colleague Suzanne Lio.

Check out this new paper in Systematic Biology! Aside from the author list including leaders in the field who happen to be some of my favorite scientists, this paper discusses * both * phylogeny inference incorporating continuous characters AND dicynodont evolution. How cool is that? 🧪

MSc talk went well and my thesis was accepted with revisions. Thanks again to all of the folks who attended via zoom. I had a much larger turnout on zoom than I was anticipating, and seeing all of your names in the participant list was very encouraging this morning.
