Let me attempt to articulate something. As a former participant in the "teenage nerds talk about dinosaurs online" scene, I think some of us who follow paleontology as adults or do dinosaur stuff professionally care too much about the specifics of what's being discussed there. (cont'd)

Please have and encourage patience with US federal offices and our federal colleagues in the coming days. With a US federal government shutdown now in effect, progress on permit requests from federal agencies will very likely be delayed.

When I wrote this for SciAm, the thing that genuinely surprised me most was the number of emails I got (mostly from men) telling me that prior generations of women in science would be ashamed of me for my weakness in writing it.

Abstract accepted for a poster at @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social! Instead of the education side, I'm packing as much entrepreneurial strategy, process, and lessons learned from 11 years leading the Sternberg Camps. My hope is that this info can be valuable to other institutions’ funding stress.

Spent yesterday checking on access to various sites in the Cretaceous-Paleocene North Horn Formation, including a new site with adult and juvenile ceratopsian material we’ll be opening next month. Paleo can be challenging at 8000-10,000’!
And of course there are turtles. 🐢🥰

Take a quick look at some of our campers’ favorite fossil preparation projects!
Advanced Fossil Prep camp gives students the opportunity to work more independently on larger, more skill-intensive projects under the guidance of our professionally trained staff.
