Prepping outreach activities for preschoolers tomorrow. #cavefish are the perfect system for learning about the 5 senses and how animals use them in different environments #STEMeducation

@emgen_science Depends where you are commuting - but happy to give my two cents if you’re interested!

This is a great reminder just how incredibly huge some baleen whales are. Even most of the finger bones of this #finwhale flipper are thicker than the biggest human long bones. Zoological Museum Hamburg, photo by me.

An undergrad, working with me virtually over the past year, just sent me a draft of her first author manuscript. I am so impressed and proud! Today is a happy day in #academia @AcademicChatter

[Mandy Powers @Mandy_K_Powers]

@lab_frog Sorry to miss it - so nice to see you John!

[Mandy Powers @Mandy_K_Powers]

@technikatie This resonated with me so much - thanks so sharing!
