Really happy to share I will be joining the Dept. of Anatomical Sciences at Stony Brook University this fall as an assistant professor!!
My lab will focus on ray-finned fish neurocranial evolution, integrating fossils and living species.
DM if you have interest in joining my new research group!
New paper on the earliest Cretaceous Brazilian sauropod dinosaur Triunfosaurus, possibly the oldest known titanosaur, along with a new perspective on this clade's radiation, casting doubt on previous biogeographic proposals🦕(+ @ismarcarvalho.bsky.social): doi.org/10.1093/zool... @es-ucl.bsky.social
