She has a proper first name, but I have a reason for the nickname (for now)..!
As for her special scientific interests, those would be:
- Paleoecology
+ Saurology
and she is VERY passionate (to the point of forgetting to eat, sometimes) about all of it.

Yep. A lot of things that were just intuitive for some reason were fairly easy (or really easy): ecology, limnology, glacial geology, Quaternary paleoecology, microeconomics, geochemistry.
Very hard because no executive function nor study skills: Calculus II, III; structural geology, Spanish.

I’m putting my Rancho Gordo beans to work today in class. My paleoecology students are sampling and identifying “microfossils” (beans) from a time series and plotting relative abundance data. They have to grapple with how to handle data visualization, broken specimens, unknowns, lumping/splitting.

This spring, I’m having my Paleoecology undergrads read one popular science book about a topic related to course themes (the history of life on Earth, any time or taxonomic group). What’s your favorite book in that vein? I’ve got a list of ~20 but want to make sure I’m not missing any good ones!

Love a good bivalve vs. brachiopod study.
Love a good modern analog study for paleoecology.
Love a good P/Tr physiological selectivity study.
I'm glad I'm not the only audience for this stuff.

Bivalves usurped brachiopods as the dominant benthic filter-feeders—the reasons why have been debated. new #Geology paper by Kemi Ashing-Giwa and colleagues support the hypothesis that sulfide played a significant role in the extinction’s selectivity.
