As we gear up for field teaching season, I have a question for #geology and #geoscience Twitter. Do you talk to your undergrads about going to the toilet in the field, and specifically about having a period on fieldwork?

Job alert: I’m hiring two postdocs! The first is a 24 month position looking at the first anatomical radiation of ray-finned fishes during the mid-late Palaeozoic; the second is a 33 month position looking at macroevolutionary trends in ray-finned fishes during the Palaeozoic 🐟

Aimovig is generally working really well at reducing my migraines to a manageable level, but annoyingly I’m suffering from a rare severe side effects. My doctor is having me try out a medication to counter it… and one of it *its* side effects is severe headaches 🤦
