There are people who think they are strong because they close themselves off from empathy, when in reality they are afraid to be vulnerable and they are letting their fear win.

Leaving FB will be fairly easy for me. I think it's mostly just given the illusion of connectedness for a while. Instagram, however, will be harder. What are people using as alternatives? Is Cara good?

I've been very much focusing on making things lately - it's been good for my mental health. Been sewing and #mending lately for a bit of something different. My current works in progress are some elbow patches on a chambray shirt and a dress I'm #upcycling to a duster/surcoat!

Playing around with water soluble PVA support for the first time! At this point I'm not wowed by it, but maybe I'll feel different once I clean all the supports off. #3Dprinting

Just found out that there are a lot of books from MIT Press: Open Access Materials on the Internet Archive, including Preparing Dinosaurs: The Work behind the Scenes. Check it out archive.org/details/mit_...

I’ve been working with the NoCTURN team on developing the new Education & Training Resources 2.0 page – a hub of tutorials, videos, and peer-reviewed papers to help researchers understand the basics and intricacies of non-clinical CT data. #NoCTURN #microCT #tomography #NaturalSciences #morphology

Since there’s finally been a proper migration of academia to bluesky, here’s a link to my most recent paper that’ll give you a sense of what I do. If you recently followed me and we were in touch on ‘twitter’ please say hi! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

#Education resource! Over the years I created this collection of colored skull #3Dmodels for teaching. They're available to download on MorphoSource & to view on Sketchfab. Because of recent changes to Sketchfab, I migrated them to my website: www.graysvertebrateanatomy.com/work/colorso... (1/3)

Hi Folks! Looks like it’s time for a reintroduction! I started my career as a scientific illustrator and visualizations person (3D, animation, etc.) at UChicago focusing on early mammals. #sciArt 1/6

1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.

@itgrrl.com Using clearsky, I saw I was on your solarpunk list. It made me so happy! I really vibe with solarpunk, but I'm still figuring out what that looks like - it's a bit nebulous. If solarpunk comes through in my content and art, then I consider that a win. Thank you!

This is part of who I am, I use X-ray tomography to study plant biology. This X-ray microscope scan shows a developing flower from a collard green, helping Antonio Brazelton to study collards in urban agriculture. Hoping to recapture my network from the other site!

A reintroduction thread is coming. One problem I have with social media is that if I can't take the time to really edit and consider my posts, then I generally feel it's best not to post. As a result, I don't post much, and what I do takes more time than I'd like.
