Hot off the press! We’re excited to introduce a new plesiadapiform species – Purgatorius mckeeveri – and the earliest dated occurrences of archaic primates 🐒 in the fossil record – as part of our collaborative research published today @RSocPublishing! royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

Bruce MacFadden, curator of vertebrate paleontology, retires after 47 years here at the Florida Museum. He leaves behind a legacy of deep dedication to science and teaching. 👏👏👏 We have so much gratitude for everything he's done for the Museum! Story: floridamuseum.ufl.edu/scienc…

Hi paleo/bio anth folks - can anyone help aspiring paleoanthropologist and current undergrad @anita_patane with sources of photos of hominin ankle (talus and calcaneus) fossils for her @UNCO_McNair project + honors senior capstone thesis?
Hi friends, I’m a senior from the Univ. of Northern Colorado looking for varied angles of A. afarensis, A. africanus and H. habilis’ foot fossils, particularly the talus and calcaneus for a geometric morphometric project! If anyone has sources, I’d really appreciate it. 1/2

It was really great talking with Senator Schumer @SenSchumer on Friday! We discussed the @BklynCollege411 Tow Mentoring & Research Program and our @NSF funded research on primate origins, the K/Pg mass extinction, and global warming!
It was our pleasure to welcome Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer @senschumer to campus on Friday.
