really enjoyed all the talks in our EED symposium 'Skin Deep: Common Threads in the Evolution of Bilaterian Ectodermal Appendages'. Thanks again to all the speakers and to Carlos Rivera Rivera for getting me involved.

Not fussed about Spinosaurs, but I do like PCAs. I do not like this PCA

Early sponges lacked [mineralised] skeletons. New paper led by M. Eleonora Rossi. Great to have contributed alongside colleagues from @bristolpalaeo.bsky.social , @nhm-london.bsky.social and @mncn-csic.bsky.social. Read it here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Incredibly proud and also very emotional to see this new paper published in @systbiol.bsky.social. The study was lead by Pierre Cockx, who sadly passed away in July. academic.oup.com/sysbio/advan...
