Dear students–Next week we will talk about Thomas Farm stable isotopes. There are a few datasets floating out there and we should discuss them.
Jon Bloch will be joining us. I also would like Sean to update Jon on what you and Michelle have been doing with regard to attaching stable isotope data to Specify…[Read more]

Eleanor Gardner started the topic in the forum Ideas for New Forums 7 years, 2 months ago
7 years, 2 months ago7 years, 2 months agoHi, @rnarducci – I realize that you have an active Facebook group for the Montbrook volunteers, some of whom are also members of the myFOSSIL website. Plus, a large contingent of the myFOSSIL community would just be generally interested to learn what’s going on there. @jbloch has approached me about way to better integrate these two groups. …[Read more]

7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months agoThis is not necessarily an answer to what professional societies can do, but I recently came across an article titled “Calling All Men – Five Ways You Can Be A Feminist At Work.” I thought it was a great article because the fight for empowerment of women in society and the workplace is not a burden that should fall solely upon women. Feminism is…[Read more]

In order to continue the forum thread, I’m cutting and pasting the following:

@bmacfadden, @jbloch, @vperez, @sjabo : Any thoughts or suggestions? Do you have any recommendations for people we should invite to start such a forum?

8 years, 5 months ago8 years, 5 months ago@cgrant@smoran@vperez@llundgren@jbloch
I’m interested in developing a two-part “place-based” K-5 lesson plan on fossils focused on the Santa Cruz, California region. This would follow up on the general K-5 lesson that Sean led, which will soon be published in Science & Children.
Sean and I plan to do a pilot field trip on Saturday, 24…[Read more]

I know that Robert Boessenecker has done a fair bit of collecting (and published research) on marine mammals from the Purisima Fm. He might be a great resource for localities/teaching? I seem to remember some of those fossils are cataloged at the UCMP? Might make for interesting 3D scanning opportunities for lesson plan?
Boessenecker, R.W.,…[Read more]

@bmacfadden–do you want me to post about this before the field trip to encourage people to come or would you like me to post a follow-up post (or both?)
If you want a post encouraging people to come, can you provide me a little more info–like the location of the field trip? I can make something to encourage participation but I want to make sure…[Read more]
