Friday Timeline Cleanse 🐚🤿🏖️

A perfect beach morning from a couple weeks ago; here's hoping it won't be too packed this holiday weekend.

I saw your repost and was reminded I never took a photo! I use this all the time, the art gets lots of compliments.

Boosting to the #SciArt Feed. I really enjoy Kaitlin's artwork & hope you might too. I learn something new about archaeology or art history each time she shares her work! 🐡

Watercolor illustration of a terracotta dog figurine from Boeotia, Greece dating back to around 500 BCE. A simple figurine and yet it evokes all the character of a very happy dog that has found a prized piece of meat.

Finished painting William the Hippopotamus, a cute little artifact at the Met. He’s about 3,900 years old, made of Egyptian faience, and adorned with lotus blossoms.

In 1626, a Cambridge fishwife sliced open a cod, only to find a gelatinous, half-dissolved manuscript inside. It was published the next year under the name "Vox Piscis or, the Bookfish." At this point, why not get your news from inside a dead fish? #earlymodern #bookfish archive.org/details/bim_...

Some sunshine for your Monday! 🌞

Blanketflower (Gaillardia pulchella in this case) have become my favorite wildflowers! They're one of the few that usually keep right on blooming through the dry season in central FL.

It's #FossilFriday! 🦴

Here's Stan the T. rex at the Museum at Black Hills Institute in Hill City, South Dakota. Despite the controversy, this place was pretty incredible to visit.
