Gastón A. Martini
My name is Gastón A. Martini, alias Tato. I am an Argentinian biologist (from UNRC), doing a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences (at UNC) in my home country. My place of work is located in southern Argentina (CIEMEP-CONICET). I am currently studying a group of glyptodonts from the Santa Cruz Formation (Early Miocene) of Patagonia (Argentina). My research is focused on anatomical, taxonomic, phylogenetic, and paleobiology aspects of them with an emphasis on cranial characters. Last but not least, I am a plant and dog lover and a human of two puppies (Franky and Rufi).

Diana Osipova
My name is Diana Osipova. I obtained my Master’s in Kyiv (Ukraine), and had started my research career as a Juniour Research Scientist at Institute of Zoology (Ukraine). Starting from that moment I have been interested in and mostly focusing on the study of the evolution of hinge in Bivalvia, and its abnormalities. For the present moment, I continue my project in Academia Sinica (Taiwan), and work with fossil Mollusca specimens, mostly specializing on Pliocene-Pleistocene taxa.
