Throwback #MuseumSelfieDay when rogue taxidermist ⁦@Sarina_Brewer surprised legendary biology collections manager Dick Oehlenschlager for his birthday! ⁩

@Ehmee @sciencemuseummn I would give you a behind the scenes tour anytime, @Ehmee !

[Rebecca Newberry @RENewberry]

@WritingwithZoe Can. Not. Wait!

[Rebecca Newberry @RENewberry]

It was my pleasure!

[Rebecca Newberry @RENewberry]

I think museum objects have souls. Anyone who has worked with me @sciencemuseummn knows I talk to objects. Today we took in a cougar, sadly hit by a car. She gets another life now, adding data about the species range in Minnesota. We have so much to chat about 😽

Conservation treatment presented well on national TV! And a very cool project to boot!

[Rebecca Newberry @RENewberry]

Is there anything better than finding brilliant diagrams in the condition report? Still looking good 25 years later! #naturalhistoryconservation #bowheadwhale #shareyourdiscovery @sciencemuseummn

Longtime dream fulfilled: moving the #coprolite case under the #diplodocus tail. 💩🦕😂 @sciencemuseummn Thanks @Dr_CrocoGator for giving your approval!

It’s time to phase out #behindthescenes #collectionscare should be visible!

I agree! #SPNHC2020 and #NATHIST2020 meeting is off to a great start!

[Dr. Mariana Di Giacomo @MarianaDGiacomo]

This morning session of #SPNHC2020 and #NATHIST2020 was absolutely amazing!!!
Topics were hard and we're all feeling the uncertainty, but we will continue to work together 💪

[Laurie Kleinbaum Fink, Ph.D. @LaurieAKFink]

Still so much to do in order to undo systems of injustice and inequality. @sciencemuseummn is working to create an inclusive, equity-based institution that empowers people to change the world through STEM. Our work and learning continue. https://t.co/FLfF5CEEAo

This is my absolute favorite Zooniverse project. Check it out, but know that it can be a little gory at times!
