“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

A team from our lab recently joined fieldwork organised by the University of Latvia, helping to excavate fossils from the Devonian, including armoured fish (Placoderms) and early tetrapods in western Latvia.

Subject close to my heart - finding an ammonite on the Isle of Wight as a 6 year old started my love of geology / earth history. The Island has an incredible fossil wealth and really deserves world class facilities to display and project on the world stage! chng.it/kQKV2mLQdZ

Fossil(and more?) Friday. The Staruni Woolly Rhino was incredibly preserved with its skin in a condition good enough to be taxidermied. Her horns, hooves, hair, and guts were all that was lost, but you can see the individual follicles in her skin. #fossilfriday #EAVP2025 #MuzeumPrzyrodnicze

As part of our Faculty Inaugural Lecture Series—showcasing the work of our recently promoted Professors—Professor Clive Trueman delivered an engaging lecture, Using Chemistry to Unveil the Hidden Lives of Fishes. @clivetrue.bsky.social

Thank you!

When it comes to understanding when animals first walked on land, finding footprints of animals that literally pressed their feet into the ground absolutely holds the key.

Congratulations to all authors including my former supervisor: @perahlberg.bsky.social

Out Now in Nature! Amniote tracks from Australia push the timeline for terrestiality back 35 to 40 million years, with implications for our understanding of tetrapod evolution.

The Biology PhD school asked me to write a blog post about my research, now it’s up and I can go back to staring at fish www.uu.se/en/departmen...

We are pleased to announce the opening of our new Tomography Support Center, now available for all @uu.se employees and students. We welcome collaborations with anyone interested in using microCT and synchrotron scanning.

Interesting new find, presumably washed in from the Wealden….

A new paper for the new year 📰

How can we visualize changes in chemical composition of fossil teeth and scales? @matthewbc.bsky.social and colleagues discuss in: peerj.com/articles/187...

🚨Paper alert!🚨

A major paper from our lab, on which I had a very minor role, is dropping on Wednesday. Can't say more for now, but here's a teaser:
