Can barely find brat buns here in North Dakota, let alone a poppy seed bun, sadly.

Celery salt really makes the dog.

Any chance to get rock and/or skin samples (like a cm or so) for our ongoing dino mummy project?

The secret to making happy little Edmontosaurus mummy murder mittens is lots of duct tape and really loud Ladytron while waiting for adhesive to cure. My methods certainly do get results i guess.

Already getting orders? Or one for the museum there?

I am advocating for due process for Abrego Garcia.

Compares to the X-Men, while not underatanding the core lesson behind the X-Men. [chef's kiss]

Yes, but at disadvantage because this defies Wisdom.

I know, right?

I suppose the officially official post went out from the university, so I can share that I got a teaching award from the UT College of Arts and Sciences earlier this week:

Paleontologist Cathy Lash works on removing rock from a large plaster field jacket that contains a seven foot long skeleton of the Cretaceous fish Ichthyodectes. Pierre Shale Formation of North Dakota.

Since it is officially announced, it is time to spread the word:

The 2026 Association for Materials and Methods in Paleontology annual meeting will be hosted by @ndgspaleo.bsky.social in Bismarck, North Dakota!

Mark your calendars for April 15-17th next Spring and join us for a great meeting!

So deserved. Congrats!

Post describing resolution just passed by Rutgers University Senate calling for Mutual Defense Compact of all 18 Big 10 academic alliance schools to defend academic freedom.

Calling all Big 10 folks. Put pressure to follow suit and call for active coordination and alliance in defense of academic freedom. No more Columbias. No more Paul Weiss.

Whether Universities allow students to speak their minds about Palestine or live as themselves, this administration will find some reason to revoke funding.

The only path is for Unis to support their students and to sue the federal government when it fails to uphold its obligatory payments.

Reminder we are coming up on the final deadline for the 2025 @sternbergcamps.bsky.social program applications on April 7th. Here's an at-a-glance of everything we have offered for this summer. (Credit to @geosplore.bsky.social for the graphic design work.)
