Want to explore biodiversity across time and space using R? Join the 3rd ed. of this online course (13–17 July) with @msshanhuang.bsky.social & @joeflansan.bsky.social & learn reproducible workflows for modern and fossil datasets, diversity metrics, GIS, and visualisation shorturl.at/qNUt1

Pleased to say that the final chapter of my PhD is out today in Nature Ecology and Evolution: www.nature.com/articles/s41... My favourite bit of science that I've done to date. If you enjoy biogeography, weird reptiles, and the TARDIS, then have a read!

New paper coming Wednesday, stay tuned

Pleased to say that my next article on Cider Review is available to read - what could geology have to do with fermented apples?? cider-review.com/2025/05/24/c...

🌍 Happy World #BiodiversityDay! What better way to celebrate than by exploring biodiversity through data? 📊 Join our course "Biodiversity in Time and Space Using R" this June with @msshanhuang.bsky.social & @joeflansan.bsky.social www.physalia-courses.org/courses-work...

New contributor Joe Flannery-Sutherland traces the origins of apples and pears, their evolution across millions of years, and how the attraction to early hominids has resulted in the rich cider landscape we now have.

Pears? Cider?? Fossils!? I went down this rabbit hole recently and my first bit of popular science writing is now available to read cider-review.com/2025/03/08/c...

Excellent way to end the week with a paper acceptance. Stay tuned for TARDIS-flavoured archosauromorphs
