    Hey all!

    Thanks for including me in this discussion, I love this topic and I’m excited to see a sort of amalgamation of all sorts of open access journals!

    Whenever I’m discussing an academic paper with my students, I’ll pull up the paper on my projector screen and walk through it, showing them that even I have to stop and make sure I…[Read more]

    Aw Jim, thank you so much for watching and for your kind feedback! I’m glad the talk was useful!

    Gabe, aw man, you’re gonna make me all misty-eyed. I think it’s safe to say we inspire each other. I know that you inspire me every day!

    @michelle-barboza – your podcast episodes (and you!) are such an inspiration! I love how your work is so well referenced (super helpful!) and you’re just so engaging. I didn’t know a darn thing about Nettie Stevens.

    Hi Kent! I’m currently working on a paper on some Alf coprolites. When we publish, I can add that in as a resource! Best, Tara

    Hi Bruce, we were just wondering earlier in November about whether there are any sanctions in place for folks who violate discrimination policies, as listed here: http://paleosoc.org/about/policy/nondiscrimination-policy-of-the-paleontological-society-and-paleontological-society-conduct-expectations/

    @bmacfadden – thanks for your input!

    Yes! Sorry for the late reply, @gsantos I’d love to help co-host a forum for SoCal paleo. @egardner, was this group already created? Playing late-to-the-game catch up. Thanks for the help!

    @michelle-barboza@gsantos

    As an addendum: fingers crossed on the submitted SVP workshop proposal on diversity in science!

    And, with regard to PaleoSoc, I run their social media (took over from Phoebe Cohen recently) and can chat with Tony Martin (communications officer) to see whether the society should clarify sanctions for policy violations?…[Read more]

    @michelle-barboza Short but sweet answer: I really dig this idea, and I feel like there’s a real need. Perhaps it’s something we can discuss at SVP during the women in science social?

    Come and find me at the “Increasing Engagement of Young Women and Girls” table – unfortunately due to teaching commitments it’ll be my only chance to chat at SVP…[Read more]

    Seconded! I love our SoCal community, and it’s great to stay connected no matter where we all are. I’d love to branch out to more paleontological consultants in California, too.

    Paul Murphey and others have a neat paper that synthesizes a lot of current practices in paleo consulting (see attached) – hope it’s helpful!
