pic taken inside an elevator looking at the doors. The white and green tiles are worn from people walking.
Worn from the flow of people – interesting that most go left (the buttons work on both sides of the elevator)

Looking head on at a T-rex fossil so you see the tailbone through the legs and you see the arms sticking out. You can't see the eyes from this angle, only the nose and jaw with huge teeth.
Run!

I was back at the @amnh.org for a new SciCafe talk. This was about the weakening of the Gulf Stream & climate change. The speaker, an oceanographer, talked how a new analysis changed his position on the subject which highlighted the self-correcting nature of science. Yay science! lol. #AMNH

I went to a talk at the @simonsfoundation.org this evening. The topic was spiders. The speakers were a materials scientist who studies spider silk, a spider scientist from #AMNH & folklorist who knew about spiders in folklore. It was entertaining & captured the wonder of spiders & nature. #science

Looking down part of the Hall of North American Mammals at the American Museum of Natural History. At the end is the Alaska Brown Bear: Canoe Bay, Alaska Peninsula Although brown bears don’t mingle much, these two have gathered at a stream near Canoe Bay, Alaska, lured by the first fish of the salmon run. The millions of salmon that swim upstream each summer are a huge boon for bears, helping them regain body mass after winter hibernation. Thanks to nutrient-rich salmon, brown bears on the Alaska Peninsula coast and islands are the largest terrestrial carnivores today. Brown bears that live inland (such as the grizzly bears behind you) eat mainly plants—and can be half the size. Bears and Salmon Brown bears near the Gulf of Alaska reach huge sizes because of their nourishing salmon diet. Together, brown bears and salmon help support the riverside ecosystems they share. Each summer, throngs of fish swim upriver, migrating from the ocean to reproduce in the same stream or lake where they were born. Carnivores like brown bears, river otters and eagles eat the spawning salmon. The carnivore droppings and fish carcasses transfer a tremendous amount of nutrients to plants and invertebrates, enriching the entire ecosystem. https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/permanent/north-american-mammals/alaska-brown-bear

I am so lucky to walk the halls when they are #Empty

Ever wonder just how germy the pole you’re holding on your ride on the NYC subway is? There are scientists & citizen scientists trying to figure that out! Today’s SciCafe at the American Museum of Natural History was about research of the microorganisms in cities around the world @amnh.org #AMNH

Just had to walk through a dinosaur hall cradling a cookie-cutter shark in a jar that I had to return to Ichthyology. I'll miss these little experiences when I'm not at #AMNH anymore...

🏛️ En 2025, los investigadores del #AMNH de NY encontraron dos #dinosaurios pertenecientes a una sp de emplumados y que vivieron hace unos 125 Ma en lo que hoy es China. Uno de ellos fue hallado con dos esqueletos más en su abdomen, los restos de su última comida.

This is also so true for #biodiversity natural history collections. We are digitizing but there are so much left to do! 23 million invertebrate specimens at #AMNH in NYC, for example. And the paper archives, old taxonomic work, indexing to it all. Maps, drawings. Treasure troves not online.

Me (the old white chick 3rd from left) with my beautiful coworkers who are now family at the American Museum of Natural History holiday staff party.
“weighs 15.5 tons. This iron meteorite, which was found in Oregon, is the largest ever found in the United States and the sixth-largest in the world. The smooth surface melted during its blazing entry into the atmosphere, while the pits formed on the Earth's surface. Iron meteorites form when large enough asteroids have had molten interiors catastrophically collide with other asteroids. These huge collisions blast out material from the molten iron core of the asteroid on orbits that reach Earth after millions of years. The internal structure of the 15.5-ton Willamette meteorite, made of metallic iron, suggests that a complicated chain of events led to its formation: Billions of years ago, an early planet orbiting the Sun was shattered, perhaps in a collision with another protoplanet. The fragment now known as the Willamette meteorite was probably part of the planet’s iron-nickel core. While planets including Earth gradually formed and matured, the fragment orbited the Sun. It was hit at least twice by other planetary fragments, knocking it into a collision course with Earth. Thousands of years ago, this meteorite, traveling some 64,000 kilometers per hour, crashed into Earth’s surface. Over many centuries, rainwater interacting with its iron sulfide deposits produced sulfuric acid, which slowly etched and carved large cavities…” https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/permanent/the-universe/planets/planetary-impacts/willamette-meteorite-t%C9%99man%C9%99was
t'amanawas ONE STORY passed down in our community, from Chief Wacheno, tells of a powerful medicine that came from the sky. The old people said t’emanewas came from the moon—a teaching that reminds us of the spiritual relationships we hold with the land, the sky and all that connects them. OUR ANCESTORS of the Clackamas Chinook, who found the meteorite, gave it the name " t’emanewas," meaning "spirit power." t’emanewas serves as the center of many ceremonies since time immemorial and is a continued source of connection for the community. THE CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF THE GRAND RONDE are made up of over 30 tribes and bands whose homelands span western Oregon. Our ancestors, who include the Clackamas people, were removed by military force from their lands and brought to the Grand Ronde Reservation. Through immense resilience, we endured. TODAY, our people continue to live on our ancestral lands, carrying forward traditions of gathering, hunting, fishing, carving, weaving, singing, dancing and speaking our languages. We are a living, thriving community with deep ties to our history, our culture and this place.
Today’s #BlueSkyArtShow is #FavoriteThings

Leafcutter ants at the Natural History Museum climbing a vertical surface holding a bit of mulberry leaf.
If you just want to see the ants at the AMNH just go around back by 80th st and they are right by the door.
I go back there all the time.
This colony is voracious eating like six mulberry branches a day. They have a whole jungle gym to tire them out.

I did a line drawing of the coelacanth at the American Museum of Natural history @amnh.org a few days ago. This morning I colored in that drawing with charcoal colored pencils. #SundayFishSketch #AMNH

I was back at the American Museum of Natural History @amnh.org for members night again. This time I drew the coelacanth hanging from the ceiling in the fossil fish section. I was careful to fit it on the page. I saw an actual preserved coelacanth in #AMNH at a behind the scenes tour years ago.
