🚨Research alert! For decades, scientists have puzzled over an evolutionary mystery: Why are bird eggs so large? A new study led by researchers at the Museum and Princeton University suggests that the key lies not in body size, but in brain size. Read more.👇

Excited that the first paper from my dissertation is now out in Royal Society Open Science! @royalsociety.org We used PGLS to investigate the effect of brain size and metabolism on reproductive output across extant amniotes and dinosaurs 🧵 #FossilFriday royalsocietypublishing.org/rsos/article...

Ever wondered what impact climate may have had on dinosaur body size? Us too! 🧵 Check out our new paper that tries to answer just that—out today in Palaeontology! @thepalass.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Super stoked that our paper on gecko embryology and diel activity evolution is featured on the cover of @journal-evo.bsky.social! Finally, the most glorious lizards (Aristelliger) are getting the spotlight they deserve 😀
