Reposted by Brigid ChristisonMira Thompson @wensthomp.bsky.social · 11/05/2026If you saw my Carroll Prize winning talk at CSVP, you know that some big changes are coming for Dinosaur Provincial Park with some of my other results! Stay tuned for that and don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have questions about this paper or my upcoming research! 161
Reposted by Brigid ChristisonMira Thompson @wensthomp.bsky.social · 11/05/2026This paper is the first chapter of my PhD and an important step to accurate stratigraphic placement of fossils in Dinosaur Provincial Park. The Dinosaur Park Formation itself, while well studied, has relatively poorly resolved stratigraphic constraints due to its complex fluvial strata. 172

Reposted by Brigid ChristisonMira Thompson @wensthomp.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Thanks for responding. It's unfortunate to hear that something virtual has been dismissed. It's especially frustrating as SVP executives in the last town hall suggested they would poll members for interest before making that decision, which did not happen. 171
Reposted by Brigid ChristisonMira Thompson @wensthomp.bsky.social · 08/04/2026They have been clear for years about their intended actions. Therefore, organizations caring for the safety of their members effected by actions of the government should have planned for the worst as soon as he was elected. 241
Reposted by Brigid ChristisonMira Thompson @wensthomp.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Im going to also push back on stating that the government is moving "too fast to respond well". This is simply not true. Yes, the Trump admin is constantly doing things quickly, but they are exactly what they said they would do years ago and along the schedule they outlined. 151
Reposted by Brigid ChristisonAnthony of the Badlands @mosasaurologist.bsky.social · 08/04/2026It was pretty amazing hearing all the meaningless platitudes from the SVP president of only holding meetings where their membership can feel safe, then turn around and host it in fucking Ohio. 2216
