Ah - thanks for the correction! Pretty fascinating story that I need to read more about! 😄

Back to Genevieve with a talk about volunteers at the DMNS:

Nice seeing how roles & tasks are broken up, so that everyone (even those w/o ento. exp.) can contribute!
Love the message that "we all break bugs" - important to emphasis!

Curious what's on everyone's insect pinning playlist?🤔 #ECN2025

Just for a lil' bit today (unfortunately)~
West coast USA timezone a tad more awkward to manage with HK time compared to East coast. 😅 Will be sure to catch up with the recordings later though!

(One of these days I'll show up in person hahaha! 😜)

Would now be a bad time to mention the existence of Tree Style Tabs and the ability to make them more "bookshelf-y"? 😜

(btw thanks for enabling my tab hording tendencies @tomlumperson.bsky.social haha! 😆)

Huh, guess that explains why my family all remarked that the moon felt extra “moon-like” for this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival! 😆

Though for those looking for this option to turn on:

Anyways, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival/中秋節快樂 to all who celebrate!🎑🏮

May the holiday bring you happiness and joy with loved ones under the full moon! 🌕
祝大家在這個節日中，與家人和朋友共享一個愉快溫馨的佳節！🥰

(Related, but love that the official HK public holiday is the day 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 the festival, so you can properly sleep in!😜)

ehh... go forth & apply anyways? 🤷‍♀️

Best bit of advice I got when I was UG sci student was to just try applying for things, esp. if/when you feel underqualified.

End of the day, least you get a definitive result instead of wondering "what could of been".👍Miss 100% of the shots you don't take etc.

(+ a funny cartoon short by @naturalhabitat.bsky.social about it here youtube.com/shorts/ScW4_... ) - "Blehhh!"🤣

Also fun fact: those stones plus the 毛公鼎/Máogōng dǐng (lit. 'Lord Mao's cauldron', a vessel from 805 BCE & longest example of bronze script) make up the museum's "Three Treasures".

So there kinda this running gag that people visit the 故宮 to get their "pickled cabbage & pork hotpot"/ 酸菜白肉鍋 fix! 🤣

Still remember getting an plastic souvenir of it during a visit to the 故宮 as a kid haha! 😆

Btw if you enjoyed that, check out its cousin: the Meat-Shaped Stone/肉形石 (Ròuxíngshí).

*Note: Man, human-made art is so cool! Guy looks at a funny rock: "Huh, looks like food... guess imma carve it!🤷"

oh dear... 🫠

ummm, silver lining, at least the labels aren't missing and legible I guess? 😆
