For more than 30 years, a Scottish fossil named “Lizzie” was considered one of the earliest known reptiles. Now, a new look inside the 345-million-year-old fossil is revealing a very different story. Discovered in Scotland in 1984, Westlothiana lizziae—nicknamed “Lizzie” for its lizard-like appearance—was described in 1990 as the earliest land-adapted amniote, the group that includes reptiles, birds, and mammals. Though the fossil was crushed and difficult to interpret, its four limbs and claw-like digits made it an important reference point in studies of early amniote evolution. “Lizzie has been an icon for the early evolution of amniotes for decades,” said Xavier Jenkins, a postdoctoral fellow in the Museum’s Division of Paleontology and co-lead author of the study. “But when we were finally able to see inside the fossil, we found an animal that looked very different from what we expected.”

Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, has vetoed a bill that would have prohibited people from secretly record others using smart glasses in certain spaces. Those would have included changing rooms and doctors' offices, as the Associated Press notes. In addition, SB-1130 would have forced the manufacturers of wearables to include an indicator that's on when the devices are recording video or audio (many already do). It would also have banned the sale of tech designed to mask a recording light or sound.

When UNC Health invited the 4,000 nurses working in its Chapel Hill hospitals to join a new system in July to pick up extra shifts, it did not go over well. Using the software program BidShift, UNC’s hospitals planned to match nurses who were willing to work extra hours with units that needed more help during hard-to-fill shifts. These shifts—mostly on nights, weekends, and holidays—were offered at premium rates, roughly $10.50 above normal hourly pay. They were entirely optional and available only after nurses hit their baseline hours. But that was less than the roughly $13-an-hour premium UNC Health had been paying most nurses to fill coverage gaps, and it was about a third of the $35-per-hour premium the hospital offered before the pandemic, one senior UNC charge nurse told The Assembly. “I guess they thought we couldn’t do basic math,” said the nurse, who requested anonymity to avoid retaliation. The extra compensation would also decrease incrementally as nurses “bid” against each other for the shifts. UNC staffing assured its nurses that it would consider other factors, such as skill levels, when making final decisions. But, generally speaking, if a nurse volunteered to work on Thanksgiving for $10.50 an hour above their normal rate, he or she could “lose” that shift to someone willing to work for less.
