My kids are 13 and now big enough to help at #kidsdayatthemuseum - they will show kids how to make clay specimens and put specimen tags like we do with real museum specimens!

Plus Mr. Blobby is here.

A few of my lab members & I helped out at Kids' Day at the Museum at the @lsumns.bsky.social a few weeks back, teaching local 4th-6th graders about neurobiology and the kinds of research we do in our lab @lsubiosci.bsky.social @lsuscience.bsky.social ❤️💪🧪

GARgantuan thanks @prosanta.bsky.social for hosting the GarLab team at his lab @lsumns.bsky.social! ALSO @thegarfather.bsky.social, K.Kimmel (and USFWS team), T.Winter,
Texas Parks & Wildlife, and Bubba Bedre!
A fish scientist (Solomon David) shows an angler (and host of Last of the Giants) an Alligator Gar skull at the LSU Museum of Natural Science. The curator of fishes is Prosanta Chakrabarty, who lent his lab space to Solomon and the film crew for the shoot. Solomon and Prosanta went to grad school together, and still confuse some people to this day when it comes to “Indian dudes who study fishes”. They aren’t often in the same place at the same time…

Very proud of this paper led by @lsu.bsky.social students where we examine what ‘Unexplored’ means in a natural history context - we recommend ‘biodiversity blindspots’ instead for places that lack digitized public data

Sophie Warny is an @lsugeology.bsky.social professor and the curator and director of education at the @lsumns.bsky.social. She studies pollen to prove or disprove relationships between objects, people, and places, which can be critical in criminal investigations (🧵 3/6)

For #museumselfieday I'm here with the skulls of an adult Spotted Gar (top) and an Alligator Gar (bottom), belonging to two different genera separated by over 100 million years of evolution
