Serendipity is what makes working in museum collections so much fun. I started out the day at the @burkemuseum looking for squirrel fossils and wound up stumbling across this beautiful 6 million-year-old jaw of a ringtail (a small carnivore related to raccoons).

We're mostly working in the modern mammal collections at the @burkemuseum this week, but fortunately @_katlande and the paleontology lab staff were able to give us a tour of the fabulous paleo facilities and collections that we've been missing out on this trip!
Thank you Bryan and Yara for your ability and your courage to come forward, share your experiences, and push for progress toward a better academia.
710 days ago, I successfully defended my PhD dissertation.
695 days ago, I, along with @Yara_Haridy, reported our PhD advisor, Robert Reisz, for bullying and harassment.
Today, we are sharing our story.

Feel-good story by Patrick Webb of @chinookobserver about Gordon Simmons, who discovered the @burkemuseum giant ground sloth while working on the expansion of the Sea-Tac Airport. We we affectionately call this gorgeous fossil Gordy. chinookobserver.com/life/gor…

Yo yo yo. If you are publishing data using museum specimens, please provide a list of the specimens examined! Signed, a collections manager who wants to link published papers to specimens in her database but can't if you don't provide catalog numbers. #collectionsareessential

NEW GRINDER ALERT!!! No more fingertips will be ground off at the UW paleohisto lab. 😅 With this new machine, thin sections can be automatically ground to sub millimeter precision with the *touch of a button*. And I am SO excited I could scream! #thinsection #fingertipsaver

Swimming with Triassic sea dragons. These are the Thalattosaurs from the Besano Formation. Top to bottom: Askeptosaurus (Askeptosauroid), Hescheleria and Clarazia (Thalattosauroids). #Thalattosaurs are among my favorite marine reptiles #paleoart #sciart
