For #FossilFriday, @AckermansNicole & I have a new paper out on the definition, usage, & protocol regarding the term "headbutting/head-butting/head butting" in dome-headed fossil taxa! What exactly is "headbutting"? Why a domed-head? Are domes rare? Read the paper to find out!

Very excited to share that we’ve found a skeleton (w/skull) of a new genus of Coniacian-Santonian ankylosaur! 🤩 filling a big glaring hole in North American dinosaur evolution #dinodig24

Including a public science project allowing students to discover real microfossils from sediment buried near the #Duelingdinosaurs fossil and send them to @NaturalSciences for research called @CretCreatures

Bayshin Tsav has an insane amount of bone. First day prospecting I found 5 theropod claws, a therizinosaur humerus… oh yeah & a couple of hadrosaur skeletons too 🙄🤣 #MADEx23 #dinodig23 @natgeo

I'm a guest editor for a special issue in the Journal of Science Education and Technology that's all about using ENA in STEM education research. Here's the full call for proposals: bit.ly/JOSTENA
Please share with colleagues, really looking forward to this!!
ALT Call for Proposals, Journal of Science Education and Technology Special Issue. "Using Epistemic Network Analysis to Provide Nuance Perspectives in STEM Education Research" Epistemic network analysis allows for researchers to explore qualitative and quantitative connections between learners and their environment and the intricacies of change in affect and practice over time. With this special issue, we seek to address intersections of STEM learning—including traditional disciplines, integrated STEM, and certain applications of computer science—and technology within online, computer-assisted, and traditional learning environments. Visit https://bit.ly/JOSTENA for more information 500 word extended abstracts due October 23, 2023

Join us this Thursday for a Juneteenth Edition of Science Conversations. We'll celebrate the work of two African-American researchers — Dr. Patricia Bath (surgical procedure for cataracts) & Dr. Mandë Holford (researches snail venoms and pain medications) bit.ly/3oYcb6a

Such a joy to see this animal reconstructed and published. An honor to be part of the crew and to have worked on this remarkable specimen! I💚Iani
Iani is an early-diverging ornithopod & possible member of Rhabdodontomorpha, a clade of controversial membership. Luckily, Iani has a beautiful disarticulated skull useful for piecing together ornithopod phylogenetics. Paper out in @PLOSONE today dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.…

Happy Dinosaur Day! Transport yourself 110 million years back when Acrocanthosaurus ruled the land at the Terror of the South exhibit at the @naturalsciences. It's most complete Acro skeleton ever found! Don't miss this prehistoric adventure!

Happy World Bee Day to our state insect! Honeybees have long played an important role in NC's agricultural economy. Vital as pollinators of several major cash crops in the state and useful for their production of honey and wax, and have been a staple of farm life for centuries.
