I'd be very interested! (I'm on the phylo-reconstruction side of things)

That might be peanuts for a science program at an R1, but it would still be very respectable for a TT prof at an R2, at least in biology.

I spent so much time in this exhibit as a kid! I have distinct memories of the yellow herrerosaurs, the frequently origins of life puppet show, and the ramp behind the apatosaurus. Also a horse evolution puppet show I think? What a blast from the past. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the shoutout! Doing this on live primates is tough. We've been discussing whether we can do more but for now we're focusing on cadavers, with some surprising results so far.

Very cool! I'm confused as to why we see spikes in use of cold climates during periods of global warming (PETM & Mid Miocene) when they were presumably rarer. Does this indicate an inverse relationship between use and availability of cold climates or am I misinterpreting what climate categories are?

We do know it struggles on Windows computers without administrator privileges, but other than that while it's bare bones it's working as intended as far as we know. So curious to send it out into the world and see what people think!

I can't really say it's under 'active development', but if you find bugs or have feature suggestions, let me know and we'll add them to our list!

But operationalizing this for species is a headache, to put it mildly. And it is borderline impossible to think about species in the fossil record as anything other than fuzzy sets of morphological variation (i.e., to give them morphological definitions).
