We are devastated by the loss of our dear colleague, friend, and director of the Turkana Miocene Project, Dr. @NengoIsaiah. Isaiah inspired so many of us and championed young scientists from eastern Africa. Our hearts go out to your family, Isaiah. Rest in power, dear friend.

Yesterday in New Jersey, protestors marched side by side with law enforcement, in peaceful demonstration against systemic racism and police violence. We can – we MUST – march toward justice together.
Chief Wysocki on the march today, standing together with the residents we serve to remember and honor George Floyd. #StrongerTogether #CamdenStrong
