Sickening and appalling. Can’t wait for those jokers in the WH to realize the “woke” material the NMNH is pushing are just new species descriptions of worms

After a few more small revisions my Barinasuchus skull reconstruction is finally done. Sculpted in #Blender, and here 3d printed at 1/6th scale.

there are thousands of species that are intersex (etc.) & ppl afraid of these scientific facts simply shouldn’t be running our nation.

Losing the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) would be an act of monumental neglect.

I spent my early career in museums and I endorse everything that Emily says here. If I can add my own take it’s that Museums produce some of the most amazing scientists and people, like Emily! Museums build empathy with the world and we need to fight for them
