Fossil Preparator, currently at Virginia Tech. I can't post about most of the unpublished holotypes I'm working on (dang, that's a flex), but I do post about other odd projects.

My "I Voted" sticker, a blue sunny day in the background, and my awful ratty thumb nail polish

Inside view through the cut open back of the sheep skull, mostly through the frontal bone. Inside you can see the ethmoid, presphenoid, basisphenoid , and a lot of the partial. Various foramina are highlighted in pink, with the cranial nerves that pass through them listed.
In the foreground in the vari-colored sheep skull. In the background, an impressive mess of bright pink powder and paint
A very colorful sheep skull, grinning at the camera from inside a box with random other projects miscellany.
A view into a brightly painted sheep skull, with a window cut into the top. The ethmoid, basisphenoid and a bit of the pterygoids are visible, and await paint.
The mandible of a sheep, painted pearly white, on a grey felt base. The yet unpainted hyoid bones rest in the jaw. In the background, the skull is visible, with some big regions of color picking out specific cranial bones. And, my messy workspace.
Most of the photo is of Rumi, a fluffy gray cat. He is sitting on a paper-covered table, snuggled against the sheep skull, amongst my painting supplies
A paper-covered table strewn with art supplies, sketches, and anatomical notes.
A lamb skull with an irregular portion of the bone removed. The back of the nasal turbinates, and the brain case are visible. So are all the uneven cutting marks.
A screenshot of an "animal tracks" poster, claiming to be North American animals. Examples include raccoon dog, musk ox, and "nedgehog". The tracks themselves are also wildly inaccurate
