This is the solution if you don't want to buy a new field guide or cannot for any reason.
Of course not everyone has spare cash to buy a new book, but the free ABA region apps will update the names and you can write them into your old guides if you don’t want to buy a new book? My OG Sibley has had new names scrawled all over it for years.

I realized at lunch today that between the regional SICB two weeks ago, the virtual SVP meeting last weekend and the education conference I'm at this weekend I've attended 3 conferences in 3 weeks.

Back from Jordan and eventually I'll know what time it is. Going back to work tomorrow might help as well.

And we're on our way to help dig out some dinosaurs 🦕! Very excited to have such a good class of young paleontologists/biologists going out with us. And that includes 3 students working in the lab next fall.

In one week @AlbrightCollege students and I will be on our way out west. Students will be really roughing it while learning how to excavate fossils, prospect for new sites, and manage a field camp by helping to wrap up the field season. Super excited!

Have you ever noticed the birds right outside your window? You might not think about the nature that’s right outside your door, but birds are all around us, all the time! If you don’t think so, join...

I've seen my name in papers enough that it is not weird (anymore). Seeing my name in a book for the first time is a very different experience though.

I was presented with an @AlbrightCollege faculty award for teaching this week. One student made me aware that they had sent in the nomination. The same student gave me a little dinosaur planter as well. It's been an exciting week!
