I don't have a well thought-out call to action. I'm mostly just grieving, and value transparency. But do consider supporting your local museum... your membership does matter. It keeps people like me and my brilliant colleagues employed. Thank you, for that.

amazed at how efficiently these two small mammals are able to completely monopolize the real estate of my couch. I canโ€™t move them, theyโ€™re too pure

Today we wrapped up filming 3 episodes with the @NMNH . Itโ€™s a collaboration 9 months in the making and 100% worth the wait. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป To celebrate, hereโ€™s me & a blue whale skull: itโ€™s the largest animal alive today, and this is the largest representative specimen in any museum. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

These photos wonโ€™t win any awards but Iโ€™m proud of them. When it feels like the worldโ€™s problems are too vast & numerous to tackle I find some comfort knowing I played a tiny role in making the journey of a few creatures more endurable just by offering some water, shelter & food.

perhaps one of the most amazing things about nature is its ability to convince us- through continued and frequent exposure- that it isn't weird. just spend a minute staring at this common ostrich and tell me, with a straight face, that this isn't the strangest bird you ever seen

hi! I am taking a much-needed break from work and social media until the end of August, consider this my out of office reply if you've sent me a message and haven't heard back, I'm fine, probably just estivating at the bottom of a bog and communing with a colony of woodlice

Thereโ€™s a certain level of irony in that I work hard every day to make science content and concepts free and accessible to a global audience and yet I canโ€™t find out how my work is discussed in the literature because itโ€™s behind a paywall

Hello. I am breaking my social media hiatus to share a truly rare and notable experience: I witnessed and documented a sloth pooping. I cannot emphasize how special this moment truly is so here:

My heart goes out to my colleagues and friends: the people who shape who I am and what I do. I wonder myself what my future holds; I'm safe this time, but upcoming staff changes leaves our program in an uncertain place. It's a sad time for museums.

We wrapped filming today! I canโ€™t believe it! ๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฆ• Hereโ€™s Dinosaur Park in my hometown of Rapid City, SD. Now, goodbye for the next six months as we lock ourselves in a windowless room, pray to the production gods and hopefully turn it all into a 3-hour series ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜
