Digitizing museum collections and building collections databases since 2015. 3D scans stuff. Entomology and paleontology adjacent. Fungi are great. Would still love you if you were a worm.

A very handsome man (trust me) facing away from the camera as he navigates a large field that has grown wild.
A blackberry bush. Most of the berries are ripe.
Picking blackberries from a ripe branch. A basket of already collected blackberries is in the foreground.
The full blackberry harvest (for now)
It's blackberry season.

A photo of the opening cinematic of Bloodborne. A decrepit, bearded man leans forward and says, "But first, you'll need a contract..."
It's time to play Bloodborne again.

A gray Shih Tzu laying on the ground with his paws tucked under him, giving the most soul destroying look possible to the person just beyond the camera
I asked him when he was going to pupate.

A metallic green beetle looking left. It is inquisitive and checking the air while deciding if it wants to fly or not.
Here's a dogbane leaf beetle to make sure your Sunday starts off right.

Dear Science Journalists,
Please mention when your write-ups covers work that was funded by federal agencies that are now being dismantled, defunded, and censored.
The public needs to know what is being lost, and if you don't tell them in the context of Cool New Science, who will?
Take note.

Artwork depicting a Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus battling with the T. rex being gored by the two long horns of the Triceratops. The image composed of oranges and blues with the blood being bright red. Underneath the image is the text "Death to the Tyrants".
Be safe out there today.

For non-scientists: the funding rate is somewhere between 7% to ~25% (rare) for NIH or NSF grants, depending on where you are applying. Grants are reviewed by a panel of peers who read the grants, score them, then debate the ratings for 1-2 days to rank them. It is INCREDIBLY competitive already.

Oreodonts are extinct mammals that looked similar to pigs and sheep, but were more closely related to camels. They are the most commonly found fossil in the White River Badlands in South Dakota, and this exceptional specimen from our collection shows an oreodont curled up inside its burrow.
