The PROGressive PHYLOgenetics LAB is now officially open and I'm looking to hire at all levels!
If you are interested in phylogenetics and macroevolution, and enjoy any/all of the following: fossils, morphology, genomics, simulations, or method development, please reach out to me

Dear colleagues,
Argentinean science is dying. I am not kidding. The government has halted National funding, they are firing people and shrinking our institutions.
Please help us spread the word.

Thrilled to share my second PhD paper focused on the application of landmark-free geometric morphometrics! Excited to contribute to advancing shape analysis techniques in biology. Check it out here: "link.springer.com/article/10…" #PhDResearch #Morphometrics

Modern academic: “my heavily qualified argument marginally advances the sub-discipline”
19th century academic: “my treatise, inspired by yesterday’s walk, revolutionizes philosophy, religion, and music. My critics are intellectually and sexually disordered”

What if biology is actually super easy and has just been waiting centuries for a very smart venture capitalist with no relevant training or experience to care about it.

En democracia la protesta es un derecho, las fuerzas de seguridad no cazan manifestantes, los jueces de la corte no se nombran por decreto, el congreso no se cierra cuando el oficialismo pierde. En una democracia no sucede. En la Argentina de hoy, sí.
New paper out!
Ever wondered why saber teeth evolved repeatedly in extinct mammalians? Well, as it happens they are one optimal biomechanical solution to the tradeoff between puncturing performance and breakage resistance. Learn more in the awesome paper led by @TIPollock!
Sabre teeth are a classic example of convergence. Our new study, integrating 3D shape, biomechanics, and optimality modelling, helps explain why: revealing that functional optimality was a key driver behind the repeated evolution of extreme sabre-tooth morphologies🔪🦷

The chronospace R package is now published!! I hope it'll provide useful tools for visualizing and exploring sensitivity in estimates of divergence times. A really fun project with lifelong friend @millacarmonia

A los que creen que la Ciencia es importante para el desarrollo de todo país y a los que soñaban con trabajar en ciencia: Alicia Caballero, presidenta de la Agencia I+D+i (que tiene la misión de invertir en los proyectos científicos que evalúa y aprueba)

Excited to report the book "Macroevolutionaries" by me and @niles_eldredge through @ColumbiaUP is now available on Google Books: books.google.com/books?id=sC… @mirandamem #macroevolution #paleontology #palaeontology #naturalhistory

En criollo la cosa es así. En todo el país se marchó por la educación pública. Se sientan los de la UBA a negociar con el gobierno, acuerdan actualización SOLO para la UBA. ¿El resto de las Universidades del pais? Los estudiantes del conurbano y del interior que se arreglen solos.

Con todo cariño, @pbarbieri, así como la mecánica de los negocios tiene vericuetos que el vulgo desconoce, la de la ciencia también. Si te lo preguntás honestamente, paso a contestarte. Soy matemática y he usufructuado la educación pública de 3 países. No voy a hablar de mí 👇 – at Chicago, IL

No estoy llorando... se me metió una Lizy Tagliani en el ojo...
Gracias por tus palabras @LizyTaglianiOk . Nos vemos hoy en la plaza reina.
