I was campaigning to highlight achievements of Polish Women in Palaeontology. And bang, here's a children's book about this very topic. 🧵

Rarely you come across books covering both, turbulent Polish history.

A month ago I had a great time in Portsmouth presenting my research and networking at #PalAss25! Big thanks to my supervisors and co-authors, and to @ncn.gov.pl for funding my work. Also thanks @darjadankina.bsky.social for taking the picture!

What a better way to start the New Year than with a new publication ? I am very glad to introduce the first paper linked with my current post-doc at @ibe-warszawa.bsky.social. We describe the first trionychid remains from the Middle Miocene of Poland, in @journalofanatomy.bsky.social.

Great #SVP2025 in #Birmingham 🇬🇧! As always, an excellent chance to collect feedback and reconnect with collaborators! #WarsawTeam

@yohanpochatcot.bsky.social presenting his research on the first occurrence of #Trionychidae (Testudines, Cryptodira) from the #Miocene of #Poland expanding the biogeographic range of the family at #2025SVP

Dr Mateusz Tałanda presents his research on the early development of #aetosaurs (Archosauria: Pseudosuchia) - a key to their success in the Late #Triassic ecosystems at #2025SVP

Just a reminder, that possibly the oldest piece of palaeoart dates to the Neolithic. The petroglyphs of horned characters with trumpets, recorded on the same rock as a ornithischian footprints (Zagaje Formation) in Poland, might be an early reconstruction of the Jurassic tracemaker.

Happy Wszystkich Świętych, All Hallows Day, celebrated in Poland. One of my favourite celebrations, remembering these who have passed by decorating graves and lighting up znicze (a glass lantern)

Our mascot Geno enjoyed a little pumpkin treat for #Halloween today 🎃

Happy #Halloween! The perfect day to feed my #flesh eating #dermestids their first fresh meat.... 🍖 #taphonomy

Happy #Halloween from all of us here at IBE - where we like to celebrate spooky #skeletons all year round! 💀🦴

Warm congratulations to Ks Dr Marcin Uhlik on successfully defending his PhD! Marcin's hard work and resilience have truly paid off, and we couldn’t be prouder 🎉🥳

Wishing Dr Andrej Čerňanský a fond farewell today, as he completes his research visit and returns to Comenius University Bratislava - come back soon! 👋

Dr Aleksandra Skawina took advantage of the beautiful Autumn weather to conduct excavations in southern #Poland this month, digging for #Triassic #fossils! 🦴

I've been awarded a @ncn.gov.pl Miniatura 9 Grant to conduct #taphonomy research, 'Investigating skeletal #disarticulation patterns in the #fossil record using controlled simulated mass #burial experiments'

My #Dermestid #beetle colony has had a huge population explosion! Lots of new crawlies to strip carcasses for my @thepalass.bsky.social #taphonomy grant! #palaeontology

Palaeo jobs alert!! General manager and curator of Dinosaur Isle Museum!! Dinosaur Isle houses the most important dinosaur collection in the UK outside of the national collection. It would be *really fantastic* to get a palaeontologist into this role: www.iow.gov.uk/jobs/detail/...

Come work with me! (Or Gabrielle or James)

New fossils reveal the hand of Paranthropus boisei - Nature Analyses of newly discovered hand and foot bones of a Paranthropus boisei specimen provide insight into possible tool use and other palaeobiology characteristics among Plio-Pleistocene hominin species...

Let's give @carriemongle.bsky.social and her colleagues a big hand for these informative new fossils of Paranthropus just published in @nature.com doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Hello and welcome to our new mascot, Genowefa! Geno (for short) is a Hermann's #tortoise, found abandoned near the University's field station in northern Poland some weeks ago. We hope she will be with us for many years to come 🐢😊

I'm recruiting a PhD student to join the lab at @gtsciences.bsky.social in Fall 2026! Broad taxonomic and topical freedom under the umbrella of vertebrate joint form and function. Information here: www.manafzadeh.com – please share 🦴🩻
