7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months agoIt sounds like an intersection between having a strong mentor, and discussing the disparity of women in STEM fields, is a pretty solid approach!
I’m surprised, too, that figurehead examples of women in STEM / mentors in STEM don’t pack more (statistical) punch. I guess calling attention to the challenges women face in STEM is all the more…[Read more]

Taormina (Tara) Lepore replied to the topic Supporting women in paleo in the forum Women in Paleontology Forum 7 years, 5 months ago
7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months agoThankfully I haven’t experienced outright sexism within academia or education. However, I have experienced it in the paleontological monitoring setting, where women regularly work around a very solid “boys’ club” of construction engineers and other workers. I’ve been called pet names, catcalled, and told I would never really take part the good…[Read more]

7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months agoMy two major advisers (undergrad and Master’s) were super cool women in paleontology: Margery Coombs and Karen Chin!
I just wanted to give them both a shout-out. There are many stories but mostly I always valued their constructive criticism, their openness to my varied career interests, and their unwavering support.

7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months agoHi everyone,
Wow, what a great forum thread, and great topics so far!
I’m interested in discussing all the various ways in which we’re increasing visibility for women in paleontology, by helping to mentor and guide young women and kids at the K-12 level.
For example, I teach at The Webb Schools / Alf Museum in Claremont, California, where we…[Read more]

7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months agoGood question @egardner – I’ve used all sizes, and I’d like to know if there’s a good consensus for nesting sets of sieves, especially for microfossils.

7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months agoI’ve been on more traditional jacketing digs for turtles and crocs, but most of my field work has involved mapping fossil track sites or surface collecting coprolites!
This past summer I was conducting more surface collection of teeth and other microvertebrate fossil assemblages. I think the distinction between surface collecting and excavation…[Read more]

7 years, 12 months ago7 years, 12 months agoYeah! Do you think that might be doable? If nothing else, it’d be good to have a forum thread for people to post if they’re attending a certain conference and where/when/if to meet up and network with folks.
For example–I’ll be at the Cordilleran GSA meeting tomorrow and Wednesday! 🙂

7 years, 12 months ago7 years, 12 months agoHey all,
It might be a good idea to have a spot to share upcoming meetings and venues where we can collaborate in person.
For example, SEGSA or other regional GSA meetings, as well as meetings like PaleoFest and even SVP. It’d be good to know who is going where, and when.
Thoughts?
