So great to see the press! And your paper is now free to read for anyone who missed out Linking Tooth Shape to Strike Mechanics in the Boa constrictor by @Bill_Ryerson , Tate Van Valkenburg doi.org/10.1093/icb/icab009 #snakes #dentition #biology #science
Skull of a B. constrictor in a (A) lateral and (B) ventral view. The colored bones are the tooth-bearing bones in this species: blue is the maxilla, yellow is the mandible, red is the palatine, and green is the pterygoid. CT scans are specimen UMMZ: Herps: 203842 from the Morphosource digital repository. Individual bones were divided into thirds as illustrated in (C) to assist in kinematic analyses. Teeth were numbered from anterior to posterior, as illustrated in (C).

If you missed @Elasmo_Gal’s amazing plenary 1) big sad, it was good and 2) here is a paper to learn about BIPOC experiences in ocean sciences! Open access! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.….

BIPOC voices in ocean sciences: A qualitative exploration of factors impacting career retention

The aim of this study was to understand the factors that impact the recruitment and retention of scientists that identify as Black, Indigenous or as People of Color (BIPOC). A total of 47 BIPOC par...

ICYMI, this latest paper draws out the parallels between the deliberate #extinction of the #thylacine & the extraordinary colonial violence enacted against Tasmanian Aboriginal people, and how one man traded the remains of both to build his own reputation: euppublishing.com/doi/10.336…

Go deep with sharks, tunas, and other marine predators looking for a bite. A study of 344 electronically tagged animals shows many predators hunt the whole water column, nabbing prey in the midnight zone as well as the shallows. In PNAS: ow.ly/85cU50Q6YER

Well, I didn’t win a seat on my local school board. That stinks. But I’m proud of the campaign we ran and knowing I went all in. And I’ve been working with my local district for over a decade; this loss won’t stop that.

How do you do decolonial research in natural history #museums? Obviously, there is no one answer, but in this piece for @Nat_SCA, I've explored a few possible approaches. #DecoloniseZoology natsca.blog/2023/10/26/how-d…

UIUC has been mascot-less since 2007 In 2020 the student body voted to adopt a new mascot (the Kingfisher) but admins downplayed the referendum, presumably hoping it'd go away as folks graduated. These students have not let up. Check out these freaking epic posters on campus:
gorgeous poster for Illinois Homecoming 2023, made by the Kingfisher UIUC crew. The image shows a Belted Kingfisher, and aggressive-looking blue, orange, and white bird, with her wings spread on an orange and blue background
