Excited to see this #OA article ably led by Federico "Dino" Degrange come out today in @royalsocietypublishing.org Open Science on the brain endocast & feeding strategies of the Early Paleocene stem-anseriform Conflicto: doi.org/10.1098/rsos.... Proud to be on this team & work with Dino again!

Happy July 4th! We'll celebrate the USA's 250th birthday with the iconic American dinosaur Brachiosaurus, discovered on July 4, 1900 in Colorado! A cast used to be mounted outside the Field Museum in Chicago but Elmer Riggs' holotype is still in the collection & a cast is at O'Hare airport. 🦕

The cast of the full skeleton of Brachiosaurus mounted outside the northwest terrace of the Field Museum in Chicago, silhouetted by the sun. I took this photo in 2011. In 2022, the cast was dismantled and recycled due to weathering damage, which is sad.

Witmer in 2017 with the holotype femur (FMNH P 25107) of Brachiosaurus altithorax in the collections of Field Museum of Natural History.

A page from the 1903 article in which Elmer Riggs names and figures the holotype skeleton of Brachiosaurus altithorax.

Witmer in 2023 with the mounted Brachiosaurus skeleton at the United Airlines Terminal at O'Hare International Airport (Terminal 1, Concourse B). On that day in May 2023, the skeleton thankfully wasn't dressed up in a sports jersey or corporate garb which I think diminishes and cheapens the impact of the amazing skeleton.

Excited to share that in mid-August I'll be opening the Castillo–Quan Laboratory (CORA Lab) as a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Ohio University! We study stress responses, homeostasis & healthy aging in C. elegans. Recruiting two PhD students for Aug 2027. Join us @ohiouniversity.bsky.social!

I’m back at my alma mater for the first time in 29 years, and I didn’t realize how emotional this trip would be. Great friends and memories made here in Athens, Ohio. I hope it’s not so long between visits again. @ohiouniversity.bsky.social

Ohio has been a bastion of public higher ed since the land grant days over two centuries ago. @ohiouniversity.bsky.social been a vital engine of public research, class mobility & civic pride. All that's over now. Great faculty will be silenced, purged, or lured away, leaving only empty MAGA dogma.
