Might as well emerge from my twitter hiatus for this. I'm so fortunate to have these fantastic people as co-authors, especially being my first publication 🙌

In a period with a lot of negatives, it feels good to end a week with a paper acceptance. It's been awesome to have had great co-authors: @jcroweriddell, @scaleyhan, @jaimiAgray, & Alison Davis Rabosky to work with on this. 🐍🐍🐍 #diceCT #herpetology

I had to get creative when setting up this #diceCT scan. The #snake will be chasing the #bat all night long in our scanner! #zoology #CtScanning @UMichEEB #oVertTCN #herpetology #mammalogy @NikonMetrology

This 𝘓𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘪𝘳𝘢 𝘳𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘢 from #UMMZ @UmichEEB has 14 pearly whites in her! Even a basic threshold of the skeletal CT scan highlights the various stages of calcification, shapes, and impressive clutch size of the eggs in this female.
