I somehow have never read any of Rachel Carson’s books so I am making up for that now!

Happy national dog day from Yuki ♥️

Been analyzing vacuña bone, tooth (left) and collagen (right) for C/N/O isotopes this week at IsoCamp! @isocampunm.bsky.social

Added some amazing prints by @drlperezdiaz.bsky.social to the lab!

Had my third year committee meeting yesterday (went great!) so I made a cannoli bundt cake to celebrate 🍰 not the best photos but it tasted amazing

a few more pictures before I leave 🥲

Had a wonderful time at the Geobiology conference and in Banff! Kept thinking of the quote “standing on the shoulders of giants” while looking out into the mountains & thinking about the Burgess Shale. Feeling very inspired to jump back into work! 🧬👩🏻‍🔬

It’s National Pet Day and I can finally participate! We adopted Yuki back in October and I’m so happy to have her ♥️

Got an action shot of me talking about how Hallucigenia & the Cambrian terrify me during my comedy science talk last week 🦠🪱

made it into the local newspaper for science and comedy 😅👋🏻

mixing point of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers at Harpers Ferry 🏞️

Yuki is enjoying this cold weather just as much as I am 🥶

Happy Sunday ☀️🐚

had a fantastic at the Geobiology GRS & GRC this past week 🦠🪨 is it too early to start a countdown for 2026? 😅
