The remarkable type specimen is currently on display in the @ROMtoronto #dinosaur gallery, so come see. I started this project a decade ago, but it was led lab alums Greg Funston & @Tom_Dudgeon, and part of a nice collab w Clint Boyd & @df9465, w great art by @MesozoicMuse!

Psychedelics may stimulate connections across neurons, changing how brain networks communicate. Some scientists believe this contributes to new ways of thinking, seeing, and feeling.

Learn more in our exhibition, “Psychedelics: Art. Culture. Science.” On now until Dec. 06.

How do psychedelics impact the brain?

There are a few leading theories, and Dr. @ManojDoss (Associate Professor, The University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School) explores one of them here.

You can see this set in Shokkan: Material Encounters in Japanese Art. https://t.co/7QR65uo1Mi

Happy birthday, Issey Miyake! This dress and trouser set is made by the renowned Japanese designer in 1990. Though these pleats may look rigid, they're flexible and add a distinctive texture to the clothing.

[Royal Ontario Museum @ROMtoronto]

This woodblock print is from Shokkan: Material Encounters in Japanese Art.

Tsukioka Yoshitoshi 月岡芳年 (1839-1892). Looking Painful, from the series Thirty-two Aspects of Women, Meiji period, 1888, woodblock print on paper, 37.4 × 25.6 cm.

Ouch! The woman in this print is getting a tattoo. The look on her face lets us know that the pain is so harsh she can’t help biting into the towel in her hand.

The textures on the towel + the woman’s kimono were created by using fabric in the printing process.

Wishing you safe travels today, friend! 🚀🌔
