Last week I visited the rex, the myth, the legend… SUE! I’ve seen @suethetrex.bsky.social many times over the years at The Field Museum, but this was at the @museumoftherockies.bsky.social in her new stance! I was so inspired & felt compelled to bow to the tyrant Iizard king 💜🦖🦴 Happy Unearth Day!

Trump: "I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls ... they don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five."

Where are my DK Dinosaur Hunters at?! This game immersed me into a world as a kid (7 yr), and now is my career (36 yr)! I took the audio from the game and meshed it to our Dino Hall at ANSP. I need this game revamped for the new generation.

With all the dire wolf stories out there, how about we take a moment to enjoy some quiet time alone in Dinosaur Hall with the ghosts of the Mesozoic Era. Here we have a Chasmosaurus and Corythosaurus at ANSP. 🧪👩🏻🔬🦖🌎 #paleosky #dinosaurs #museum #naturalhistory #paleontology #geoscience #sciencemuseum

Working on a video about the Dire Wolf frenzy that is taking over social media… especially the misinformation.
They’re still extinct.
My museum, Academy of Natural Sciences, does have the Joseph Leidy type specimen (not 📷) of Aenocyon dirus & I have a tattoo of one!
Stay tuned for its release 🧪🧬👩🏻🔬

Great news. Nay, the best news.
Flickr user and all-around hero grafxmangrafxman has uploaded photos of every single fossil and text graphic from the old NMNH fossil halls. Including many that I had failed to document. I'm ecstatic! Thanks Enzo B for the heads up.
