Hello to new and familiar faces!
In my old life, I was a vertebrate palaeontologist who studied fossilized bird and dinosaur footprints.
Now, I work as a remote medical scribe for a podiatry clinic. I do #BirdGlamour a #scicomm project where I create makeup looks based on birds and other critters!🐡

It just flashed to mind certain scenes from Scary Movies I saw - the TV was perfectly positioned for viewing when I peeked over the headboard from my room - that scared the beezus out of me as a kid:
1. The tub and well scenes in "The Changeling"
2. Danny Glick scratching the window in "Salem's Lot"

Too many Valentine’s Day poems start with “Roses are red, violets are blue,” and nowhere near enough with “Here I sit, broken-hearted…”

Trace fossils FTW again! Earliest known (300+ mya) evidence from Germany of scaled skin in reptiles from body impressions with tracks, includes imprint of a cloacal vent (probably SFW because it's a trace fossil). 🧪🐾🦎 #ichnology

This is an accurate endorsement of Bluesky. The core user base are the kids who would whisper "wanna see a weird bug?"
And then proceed to show you the weirdest bug/thing/idea you have ever seen.

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

A not-completely-exhaustive illustration of our winter shorebirds, but these are the species that you’re most likely to see during winter around Teesmouth (northeast England).

🏺 #SuperbOwl 🧪
The oldest known image of an owl:
More than 30,000 years ago, someone skillfully scratched the figure of a long-eared owl (Asio otus) into the soft outer layer of the walls of Chauvet Cave, France. The owl is looking backward over their wings, head turned 180 degrees

#BirdGlamour celebrates #SuperbOwl by revisiting my first Glam in 2017, the Short-eared Owl! Short-eared Owls are found in the grasslands of all continents except Australian & Antarctica. They are also far travelers: there are accounts of Short-eared Owls landing on ships 100s of miles from land!🧪🐡🐦

I’m putting my Rancho Gordo beans to work today in class. My paleoecology students are sampling and identifying “microfossils” (beans) from a time series and plotting relative abundance data. They have to grapple with how to handle data visualization, broken specimens, unknowns, lumping/splitting.
