With all the dire wolf stories out there, how about we take a moment to enjoy some quiet time alone in Dinosaur Hall with the ghosts of the Mesozoic Era. Here we have a Chasmosaurus and Corythosaurus at ANSP. 🧪👩🏻‍🔬🦖🌎 #paleosky #dinosaurs #museum #naturalhistory #paleontology #geoscience #sciencemuseum

New paper! Social media for fisheries science and management professionals: How to use Bluesky and Instagram, and why you should. This is the first paper in the peer reviewed scientific literature to explain how Bluesky works and how to use it for #SciComm 🧪🦑🐠 academic.oup.com/fisheries/ad...

Working on a video about the Dire Wolf frenzy that is taking over social media… especially the misinformation. They’re still extinct. My museum, Academy of Natural Sciences, does have the Joseph Leidy type specimen (not 📷) of Aenocyon dirus & I have a tattoo of one! Stay tuned for its release 🧪🧬👩🏻‍🔬

Saturday was a good day for rockhounding! The highlight was all the pyromorphite, plus this dragon head looking quartz. #geology #minerals 🧪⛏️🪨👩🏻‍🔬🌎

Great news. Nay, the best news. Flickr user and all-around hero grafxmangrafxman has uploaded photos of every single fossil and text graphic from the old NMNH fossil halls. Including many that I had failed to document. I'm ecstatic! Thanks Enzo B for the heads up. www.flickr.com/photos/80431...

Some good rockhounding yesterday. I’ll be back to this location Saturday to film some long-form videos for my YT channel as I start my journey into online science communication (on top of my museum scientific job)! 🧪🌎👩🏻‍🔬 #minerals #geology #earthscience #rocks #geoscience

If you’re a geologist, palaeontologist, rockhounder… you know this is a core practice. I mean how else am I supposed to get my daily iron intake? Eating spinach?! No way! 🧪 🌎 🪨 👩🏻‍🔬 #rockhounding #geology #paleosky #paleontology #sciencememe #geosky #ironstone #sedimentary #fieldwork #geoscience #rocks

Stand Up For Science 2025 in Philadelphia Pennsylvania

#standupforscience2025 is tomorrow (Philly for me) and I’m up trying to think of good memes to put on posters to show my rage through ✨ art, especially with Tiktaalik being part of ANSP 👩🏻‍🔬 🧪

Yikes! Peer review is critical for the integrity of our science, and outside experts are always needed to vet new grant proposals. By moving this all in-house at NIH, we lose scientific independence & make it easy for the government to determine what research should be funded. 🧪 #PeerReview

Last week, Buddy and I took our Friends Select 2nd graders on a tour of Vert Paleo with Ned to see what it’s like in the museum collections, how we categorise and store fossils, and even get to look at some specimens up close! 🧪 🌿 ⚒️ 🍎 🧬 🌎 👩🏻‍🔬 🪨

HELP A SCIENTIST OUT. I’ve started to see these “trona frogs” popping up on social media since the Tucson Show. Some selling for 2K. I asked a page (that was selling them) if there were any research papers; they replied not yet, but said scans were done to show they’re real? Cont. 🧪⛏️⚒️🐸🧬👩🏻‍🔬🧬🧫🔬

Last week, a video of a rare black seadevil anglerfish spotted near the ocean surface made headlines because anglerfish typically live in very deep waters. Dr. @sternarchella.bsky.social joins us to discuss the video and recent research on anglerfish evolution.

Anyone else show up to work this morning and find a scene like this? This is our Fire Camera on Star Peak in Northern Nevada. Don't worry, we'll get the snow cleared off before Spring! #FieldWorkFriday.

If you see this, post a skeleton: One of our Paleopalooza events at ANSP where I did tours of Dino Hall all about Jurassic Park, Fossil Prep, and how dinosaurs are mounted for exhibits like ours. Of course I had to include Tyrannosaurus rex at the end of the presentation! 🧪 👩🏻‍🔬 🍎 🌎 🦖 ⛏️

Been a busy few days but here are some nice local minerals I will be displaying soon: iron stained limonite quartz and some sort of goethite/hematite underneath that I haven’t really inspected yet. Anyone else wanna take a guess? Gotta love rock hounding/collecting. 🧪🪨⛏️ #geosky #geology #geoscience

Right around the corner from where I live. The animals and I voluntarily evacuated because I’m not waiting for them to do their tests: I know what chemicals are in that factory.

Friday I attended the Super Bowl Eagles parade here in Philly. Go Birds! Go Dinosaurs! My best shot 📸🏈🟢 If there is to be a revolution, I think Philadelphia is the perfect origin. If we can come out like this for football, we can do it to fight against fascism and oligarchies ruining our country.
