Super excited to have been awarded the Student Choice Teacher of the Year Award from the Academies of Nashville (
@MyFutureMyWay
) this past June! Ready to start Year 5 with the ISR program (
@VandyISR
) at John Overton High School (
@OvertonMNPS
)!
We were honored to be nominated as a partner, and to see our ISR teachers and school partners nominated, for the 2024 Academies of Nashville awards. Congratulations to Dr. Greg Smith (
@paleodentist
) for winning the Student Choice Teacher of the Year award!

Happy to have been a part of this (open access) paper! Mastodons on the west coast of North America have significantly narrower teeth, stouter limbs, more sacral vertebra, and no evidence of mandibular tusks as compared to the rest of the US. We name a species: Mammut pacificus!

To your second question, the taxonomy hasn’t been fully resolved but there were at least two ‘shovel-tusk’ genera: platybelodon and amebelodon. There were likely more, with numbers again depending on who you ask!

So the second question is easier to answer: ‘shovel-tuskers’ typically refer to any gomphothere with flattened lower tusks, so yes they (IMHO) actually are gomphotheres. Depending on who you speak to, they are either a subfamily under Gomphtheriidae or a sister family to them

It's likely to be a Notiomastodon platensis. Cuvieronius hyodon (=tropicus) is the only other gomphothere from South America and it was restricted to Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, on the western flank of the Andes. Disclaimer: basing that solely on location, and not morphology!

In my 4th year, that chapter isn’t yet published and I still haven’t been ‘scooped.’ Recently was assured by committee that it was more important to “get it right” than to “get it published” – esp. since my PhD projects are the start of a longer professional research career. 2/3

Had a great time taking my students out to a nearby stream to analyze water quality using benthic macroinvertebrates, chemical tests and fecal coliform analysis!

Hillsboro and Overton IS-III students traveled to Richland Creek to analyze water qaulity! They tested chemical properties, identified macroinvertebrates, and collected samples for microbial source tracking back in lab
