Izolde is a wonderful human being whom I can personally vouch for. She's working on getting a job as well as cheaper housing, but December is a rough time to be trying to figure this stuff out. If you can spare a few bucks, that would be much appreciated.

252 million years ago, a mass extinction wiped out ~96% of marine species. Bivalves (e.g. clams) took over, but there’s little quantitative physiological data explaining why. I got the chance to talk about the study below with Berly McCoy for @npr.org’s Short Wave! www.npr.org/2025/11/05/n...

Please help if you can! <3

Why do some types of animals do better than others during mass extinctions? And why does that matter? My paper on the differential responses of brachiopods and bivalves to sulfidic conditions at various temperatures is out from Geology! pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/...
