Forget accidentally frustratingly washing tissues in pockets, this morning I realise I forgot to empty the gloves out. #CuratorProblems
Curator rant #56942
Just a reminder to everyone....
If you borrow specimens from a museum for whatever reason, it YOUR responsibility to take care of the specimens & to RETURN them to the institution which owns them.

Bulk registered shark teeth, none have been labelled individually. However, the label assigns 29 numbers. No idea which is which π€·πΌββοΈ

Although this is clearly from a filmβ¦ watching it still gives me cold shivers π±π
Actually, I often yell at the tv when people break museum specimens in films, now I think about it π€

Just a friendly reminder to everyone to please check with the curator/museum how specimens should be cited in a publication. You spend ages getting the science correct, it takes 10 minutes to double-check registration numbers. We are here to help! :-)

This is my current state.
Have I mentioned that I HATE BULK REGISTERED SPECIMENS! Especially where some have been mentioned &/or figured in publications & then put back in the same box as 50 other specimens or removed & put elsewhere but not recorded

Anyone else have @coldplay Paradise song go through their heads when they look at paratypes, or is it just me? π€

Bulk registered specimens. Spent a good chunk of today sorting Pholidophoroides specimens with the same number. Some had been figured; some had been given suffixes; others were lumped together. They all needed unique numbers

I've had the privilege of being able to spend time in quiet, empty museum galleries. Sometimes that solitary meditation is interrupted by questions (e.g., How in the heck have I never noticed that we installed that short-faced bear radius upside down?). #curatorproblems
Please do approach with caution. We usually have something fragile in our hands and very much deep in thought trying to decipher the handwriting or being amazed by nature.

Always approach a curator slowly and gently in their natural habitat; they are generally lost in clever thoughts or pondering very long 'to do' lists and are easily startled.
I'm forever looking for auld fish-banes (old fish bones), either in the rocks or in the museum collections.

We're sharing this excerpt from Robert Dick's biography as a special treat for you all! Recorded here is an exchange between Robert and a quarryman, while Roger looked for fish fossils by the side of a road.
Currently, Leedsichthys problematicus (aka the biggest fish ever) is living up to its name and making me what to cry. Why does it have so many bits? #TeamFish #FishProblems #curatorproblems
Exhibit designers sent back proofs for approval at 4:40pm on Friday. Dudes, I do not get paid on weekends. I spend that time bemoaning my life choices and eating fast food.
I will read your shit on Monday. Deal with it. #curatorproblems

Please stop buying stinky old metal things.
Signed, the person who is home more often than you are.
I postponed all exhibitions that were scheduled from now until April...bit gutted but in these times, I need to think out of the box and outside the four walls of the Museum...anyone else doing the same? I'm tired of rescheduling them #MuseumProblems #exhibitions #CuratorProblems
Watching The Home Edit show and they way they store Reece Witherspoonβs clothing memorabilia is giving me the vapors. βImagine how they must feel at the Smithsonian!?β They feel like you should eliminate hanging stress on textiles and protect them from dust! #curatorproblems
A curator creates a salon wall of expansive landscape photography. Collections management comes along and fences it in for no discernible reason (all glazed, no loan requirenents). We must fight overstanchioning to our last breath. The struggle is real. #curatorproblems
It has not been a good few days in the fossil fish section, several complicated inquiries and no easy answers. But that is how life is as a curator. Open one drawer and then onto the other.

Pick a dark, subtle color they said, itβll be easy to color match labels they said... π€¦ββοΈ why do I always do this to myself. #curatorproblems
Lydia is making it really hard to edit labels. #curatorproblems
