Abstract accepted and presentation ready for the 5th Virtual Conference for Women Archaeologists and Paleontologists #VCWAP2025 πŸ₯³

My pet mice Gadget & Gizmo volunteered as intrepid #trackmakers for our @ibe-warszawa.bsky.social students studying #ichnology! NB: These girls are professionals. They were not harmed/stressed in any way - rather spoilt with attention, a new luxury pink VW carrier & a large cheese payment πŸ§€

A great opportunity for those interested in a scholarship here at UW as NAWA Ulam programme has announce applications are open! For more information, feel free to contact prospective supervisors πŸŽ“ researchinpoland.org/news/call-fo...

🚨New paper alert! 🚨' #sensory #reconstruction of the #fossil #lorisid Mioeuoticus: #Systematic and #evolutionary implications ' πŸ™ˆπŸ™‰πŸ™Š www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/15... Many thanks to my coauthors Adam Lis, @ingthingg.bsky.social, @marytsilcox.bsky.social & @sergilopeztorres.bsky.social sky.social 😊

PhD project opportunity here in Manchester to do some cool inter-disciplinary stuff on the taphonomy and fossil record of collagen. Ancient, recent, modern, lab-work, theoretical, data, imaging, its all there! Deadline Jan 31st www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

My first paper of the year - and my first 1st Author paper at @ibe-warszawa.bsky.social - accepted with minor revisions πŸ₯³

Merry Christmas! πŸŽ… Family & friends got me dinosaur themed Xmas decorations, clothes, jewellery, ornaments, pyjamas, socks, oodie, bedding, cushions, and blankets in 4 types of dinosaur themed wrapping paper. My sitting room is like a Jurassic Park Gift Shop πŸ˜…

Twisted the rings on the SchΓΆner Brunnen of the NΓΌrnberger Christkindlesmarkt before returning home to Warsaw, urban legend has it that if you can turn the rings in the fence three times, good luck will come your way for an entire year πŸ€ #PalAss24

PrzemysΕ‚aw ŚwiΕ› of the University of #Moderna - former PhD student of our very own @ibe-warszawa.bsky.social - presenting his research on 'Diet change and potential larval development in a late Devonian #conodont'

An unexpected treat to catch up with Prof. Dave Harper of @durhamearthsci.bsky.social here at #PalAss24 😊 Dave was one of my Bachelors supervisors 12 (!) years ago at #Durham University, and it's 9 years since we last met!

A wonderful evening at the #PalAss24 Annual Dinner. Congratulations to all of the awardees πŸ‘ and what a pub quiz!

Thank you to all who came to see my talk on the sensory & behavioural reconstructions of the early #Miocene #lorisid π˜”π˜ͺ𝘰𝘦𝘢𝘰𝘡π˜ͺ𝘀𝘢𝘴 at #PalAss24!

Fantastic but 'pants' @thepalass.bsky.social Annual Address by Prof Sarah Gabbott talking about how she is pivoting her groundbreaking palaeo work to understand how long it takes for plastics to breakdown. Eye opening and frankly bleak stuff for our environment. #plasticwaste

Ever wondered how you reconstruct the behaviours of extinct primates? Especially the little cute, fluffy ones? Then come see my talk on the early #Miocene #lorisid π˜”π˜ͺ𝘰𝘦𝘢𝘰𝘡π˜ͺ𝘀𝘢𝘴 at #PalAss24 in Session 3C at 14.30!

Definitely a highlight of #PalAss24 to celebrate all things rotten at the #taphonomy workshop yesterday! 🦴☠️

Taphonomy is my first love, and I have consumed a lot of sugar at the Christmas market, so I am literally hyper-excited for the #PalAss24 'Rotten Fossils' #taphonomy workshop with @taphonomist.bsky.social tomorrow

Pre-conference #PalAss24 trip to #Bamberg to see the beautiful #Christmas markets & historical sites β€οΈπŸŽ…

Big thanks to Dr. Oliver Wings for a wonderful tour of the Naturkundemuseum #Bamberg to start off #PalAss24!

Arrived in Erlangen for #PalAss2024! Enjoyed the beautiful views travelling from Warsaw via Berlin on the ICE, and Christmas is in the air! πŸŽ…

Introduce yourself with your worst feedback from school: I'm Holly. Considering my schools bad reputation, I should forget about becoming a palaeontologist. If I'm lucky, I could be a hairdresser or nail technician and live above the poverty line.

🚨 Check out my new co-author paper! 🚨 'New Euungulate #fossils from the Middle #Siwalik Subgroup of the Potwar Plateau of Northern #Pakistan' in the Geological Journal 🦴 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

My first #graduation was from #DurhamUniversity, UK in 2015. The ceremony occurs in #DurhamCathedral, which was used as a filming location for #Asgard Palace in #Avengers: Endgame and #Hogwarts in Harry Potter & The Philosophers Stone. Thus, I can claim I'm a scientist, an Asgardian & a #witch! πŸ§™β€β™€οΈβš‘πŸ§ͺ

As a child, family holidays were taken in Alnmouth & Berwick in the northeast UK. One day while rockpooling, I found my first #fossil and my lifelong obsession began. I still have my little rugose coral πŸͺΈ #palaeontology

Hi, I'm Holly - a palaeontologist specialising in taphonomy (the science of death & decay) and behavioural reconstructions. I am currently living in Poland for my postdoc. I post about the amazing journey my work takes me on, and my wonderful palaeo-friends & family I've met along the way

Wonderful to see so many new people here! :-) Interested in sedaDNA, aDNA, or forensic genetics? Join me in Copenhagen! I'm hiring a PhD and a Postdoc to start in 2025. Application deadline 28 November employment.ku.dk/phd/?show=16... employment.ku.dk/all-vacancie...

Welcome palaeos! Remember to find the starter packs on palaeontology to find more of us! @alinemghilardi.bsky.social's pack is a good start! go.bsky.app/QWhLarC

Thought I would come over from Twitter and collect as much #taphonomy and #palaeontology news as BlueSky can offer 😊
