That is absolutely insane

Poppy saw a lizard on the windowsill one time and had a 'rat' reaction, but I think the wings would produce a bird reaction.

If pterosaurs were still alive, do you think cats would chitter at them the way they do for birds?

Only the essentials for the new office.

My “I don’t eat type specimens” t-shirt is getting a lot of questions from the curatorial staff that are already clearly answered by my shirt

Important to remember our history as a field, good and bad. Great thread.

What does that even mean? Like didn’t want her to keep it or find it?

Yo what

My cat seems convinced there is something under the stove/fridge, a fun addition to the work from home experience. Can’t wait to find out if there’s a mouse or if she’s just messing with me for attention.

Saurichthys would like my post if it wasn’t extinct :(

I recognize the one character

Meeting students who are excited to get started in zoology/science is the best part of the job for sure. Especially now that I have a teaching collection of cool animals to show people. Nothing like a frog skeleton to get people interested in zoology.

Thank you! Also love your fish teeth stuff

I am excited to announce that I have accepted a position to serve as a lecturer of zoology at Bowie State University! I am thrilled to have the opportunity to combine teaching and undergraduate research experiences in zoology, paleontology, and ecology.

Not very agnathan inclusive of you

McGill here seems like a very smart fish

I think I figured out why my phone wanders away...

Random pet question but did they change the icon for claw? At least for me it’s different

Paper with the SVP Taylor and Francis Award on it.

I’m really moved to receive the Taylor and Francis award and that @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social took the time to mail it. I am honored!

Honestly curious, what does this mean?

Cow tools

I think we need more flavor pet abilities, raptors should be able to open doors for instance

Whoa this looks amazing, dream of having studies at this scale for fossil fishes someday

Misread a form for a museum visit and accidentally asked the curator if I could visit for a full 6 weeks. Make sure to read the forms carefully kids!

How do I explain to the doctor that I am simply built different?
