I wrote up my "it's like finding your hat preference" analogy for MCMC: brianomeara.info/posts/mcmc/ -- it helps students understand burnin, hot and cold chains, RJMCMC, etc. #Teaching #Bayes 🧢 👑 👒 🎩 🪖 🎓

Fossil Friday! Here's a 500-million-year-old brachiopod from the Cambrian Marjum Formation of Utah, with its delicate chitinous setae preserved 😍. Specimen discovered by @cambriannelids.bsky.social during our latest field campaign in September. ⚒️

It is #FossilFriday again! This week we have been finishing a paper on Aspidella and Triforillonia. Aspidella is the most widely named #Ediacaran genus, though few occurrences resemble the type species A. terranovica. Aspidella sadly has become a bit of a wastebasket taxon synonymous with disc.
