What paleontologist couldn't use 4,500 Euros?

By laelaps on October 31, 2007.

Funding is a difficult thing to obtain, but if you're a paleontologist with a published paper Paleonturology '07 is still accepting submissions. Dr. Vector, last year's winner for his paper "Postcranial Skeletal Pneumaticity in Sauropods and Its Implications for Mass Estimates," tipped me off about this one, and the entry requirements are very easy to meet. Anyone can enter this, student or professional, no matter what area of paleontology you're involved in, so if you've got something published in 2006 (or even know of a paper that you feel should be entered) be sure to act fast as the deadline is November 30th. Information about entering can be found at the official Paleonturology page or interested parties can e-mail me and I will forward the entry instructions I received in Word format. Unfortunately I have nothing to submit, but there's no excuse not to enter if you do!

SV-POW! is go
I used to have a deep-seated sense of guilt that I didn't post enough dinosaur stuff here at Tet Zoo. After all, I might be the only writer at scienceblogs involved in palaeontology, so I have a duty to remind the world how incredibly cool and scientifically relevant long-extinct dinosaurs are.…
What if you gave a review and nobody came?
Per Moyhu it looks like the GWPF's joke review is, errm, a joke. Who could have guessed? just to refresh your memory: submissions are invited, deadline 30th of June and will be published, here. Oh. I see two obvious possibilities: (a) they got embarrassingly few submissions; (b) they got…
Incentives for helping kids in need
In case helping preschool special ed students by providing materials for science exploration isn't rewarding enough, the Scienceblogs overlords at Seed Media have made two really enticing offers. First, Seed is matching the first $15,000 donated by scienceblogs readers during the challenge. I think…
