@DrRubidium That is secretly my favorite slide in the presentation, because it's the one the most people tell me afterward, "I never thought about that before!" and that sentence makes my scientist heart sing! π
@3reads I feel like the story behind just how this play set got put together soooo poorly, almost beyond all likelihood, is a mystery I regret I'll never know.
I assigned my Dinosaur Science class an extra credit activity that involved taking pictures of dinosaur toys and analyzing their anatomical accuracy. This was my favorite find - a "Realistic Dinosaurs" play set that includes, among some truly bizarre offerings, a dragon.
@geolizzy OH! You mean THAT thing. Yeah, I think it's an ankylosaur that is either rearing against all logic, or is...bipedal? I confess when I first saw it I was like, "Is that the creature from the black lagoon???"
@geolizzy I don't know if that's a Spinosaurus, because the orange "dinosaur" with the sail is quadrupedal π€£ I think both those grey ones on the left are large Cenozoic mammals colored to look like the dinosaurs. It's crazy!
It came out beautifully! I'm going to distribute your graphic to my family, as it explains what I do better than I have been able to articulate at years of family functions! @ce_offord@TimClelandPaleo https://t.co/ffxvTQS8rg
One of the most interesting graphics I've had the pleasure of working on! This time on digging up ancient proteins for paleoproteomics. Art by @gmretseck, science advice from @ERSchroeter https://t.co/8VPtcdLHTF @TheScientistLLC
@geolizzy I gifted myself Check Out the Geysirs and Turn on the Northern Lights for my winter solstice birthday! No regrets. Less is Norse and What Are Friends Thor are next on my list!
I have a new paper out with @TimClelandPaleo that reviews the differences in the types of mass spec used to explore fossils. Good road map for non-MS paleos looking to dig deeper into the protein studies that get so much attention in the media! https://t.co/exMQbeqo7Y

@s_ulhasan @ProjExplore As a 1st gen college student, without sustained opportunities and mentorship, IDK how I'd have navigated even applying for graduate school.
@s_ulhasan @ProjExplore gave me training in professional etiquette, writing, and time management that was *critical* for grad school and unavailable to me otherwise
@s_ulhasan @ProjExplore As well as internships with @ProjExplore during undergrad that turned into a job for two years between undergrad&grad. This experience 2/
@s_ulhasan I am a Paleontologist that grew up in West Englewood on Chicago's South Side, and went to public high schl on the south side further west 1/
