we collaborated with @BobNichollsArt on @EdiacaraDani most recent paper doi.org/10.1016/j.is... by testing Bobs 3D sculpts in simulated flows with fabulous results. A reminder to consider including palaeo-artists as a co-authors. Bob was paid but also contributed intellectually, so he is an author

This is a must read. A year of investigation by Manchester University about the claims against him and Roy were baseless. Phil is the kindest most professional/ethical person that I know. www.manchester.ac.uk/discover/new...

Very cool. i wonder if this might be more common in the proterozoic before more extensive clay formation in more modern type soils and by bioturbation…. Intuitively fine grained proterozoic sediments should be less cohesive

Hi Bob, great to see you here too!

yes please Russell I was about to write to ask :-)

I am looking for palaeobiologists, so more than happy to hear from biology students with suitable experience too :-). This is going to be a great little adventure! Come study in a fun, dynamic & highly supportive environment with some of the most beautiful fossils anywhere!

I am really pleased to be able to offer a couple of PhD position in our group to work on a wonderful new site only an hour from Memorial www.palass.org/careers/phd-...

Thank you. It was lovely to meet you in person!

Love how my office looks this #FossilFriday#Ediacaran casts from my new Inner Meadow/Coombs Surface ready to photograph. We have been quiet about it as we work to purchase the land for our research & to preserve it for future generations. All done now, exciting times! Just need more students!

yep, they are there in thin section, we working on extraction at the moment :-)
