The Carthage Institute of Paleontology is facing an existential threat: funding for our preparator ends THIS JULY & we need to find an alternative to save the program & its fossils.

PLEASE SHARE WIDELY.

Our goal is to reach someone with the resources to help.

Male Greenfinch at Praa Sands in Cornwall.😊
First photo shared from my holiday!
The weather was wet, wild and extremely windy for most of the holiday, so I wasn't able to take many bird photos unfortunately.
Still managed a few though, which I'll share in the coming days. 🐦😀

There's a 'spill and fill' process going on at the South Australian Museum at the moment.

Existing collection manager positions & research positions are being disestablished. We're not sure what will replace them.

Worried? Rally on the steps of Parliament, this Sat 11 a.m.!
