Faculty-student biology research team publishes findings in Palaois
A team of paleontology researchers led by Lycoming College has discovered a well-exposed section of the Catskill Formation in North-Central Pennsylvania that contains abundant macrofossils and sedimentary features that make it well-suited for Upper Devonian fossil occurrences. Their research, entitled, “Vertebrate Taphonomy, Paleontology, Sedimentology, and Palynology of a Fossiliferous Late Devonian Fluvial Succession, Catskill Formation, North-Central Pennsylvania, USA” was published in the December issue of
Palaios, an academic paleontology journal.
David Broussard, Ph.D., assistant professor of biology and chair of the department at Lycoming College, led the research and writing project in 2018-2019. He explained that by combining different types of evidence, including the abundance and types of fossils and changes in the rocks, it became evident that the paleoenvironments preserved at Late Devonian (~36

You’ve definitely heard of blockchain, but knowing exactly what it means can be trickier. The word has become synonymous with Bitcoin but, in reality, the technology is much more than that.
Many companies are involved in the development and utilisation of blockchain technologies, from the miners to those offering cryptocurrency payment services, and following last year’s explosion of growth, it could well be set to get bigger.
According to research from Markets and Markets, the global blockchain market hit $3bn last year and is forecast to soar to $39.7bn by 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 67.3%.
Consumer trust in the food sector has increased over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, a new report from EIT Food can reveal. A study of 20 000 consumers across 18 European countries reveals trust in the food sector has increased over the course of 2020, yet the majority of consumers don’t consider the sector to be working in the public interest.
The EIT Food Trust Report surveyed 19 800 consumers from 18 European countries to measure trust in the food system and confidence in food products. The study was conducted by a consortium of pan-European academic partners including the University of Reading , the European Food Information Council (EUFIC), Aarhus University , KU Leuven , and the University of Warsaw .
