Too often people go to university to ‘explore research and knowledge’
Look forward to Wes S saying 'too often people go to hospital to have operations' or Heidi Alexander saying 'too often people go to the station to catch a train'

I open my Etsy shop for my limited edition signed art prints just 2-3 times a year.
I design my botanical photos using recent research so they dial down the fight or flight response in your brain when you look at them.

Gorgeous magnolia flowering @CUBotanicGarden👇🏼. Looking at plants helps us recover from a source of stress 60% more quickly & causes ‘soft fascination’-gentle effortless engagement that shifts the brain away from fight or flight & into rest & digest mode. Scientifically-proven floral relaxation 🌷👀 🧠

The Horniman Natural History Gallery features this stunning walrus.
It was transported to England, purchased in 1886. There, the taxidermists, having never seen one in the wild, stuffed it until the wrinkles smoothed out.
This is a fully inflated walrus, my friends.

This is the Neolithic chambered cairn of Maeshowe in #Orkney which was built 5000 years ago. Every year on the #WinterSolstice (if the sky is clear) the setting sun shines down a perfectly aligned passageway and illuminates the inner chamber.💡
