Chronicling science, pet, & art adventures. #biogeofeminist catalyzing change -- to make the scientific enterprise welcoming & just, while rediscovering the artist within #dailydraw 🏞️⚛️💦🌿🏳️🌈☮️💙⚒️✍️🎨🐾
Our scientific enterprise is under attack BUT this weekend one of my #dailydraw prompts was #Jimothy 🩷 hooray for small moments of joy 🎨
Packing, again?!? Didn't we just do this mom?? (Yes yes we did, piglet)
Catching up with #dailydraw - several days behind due to the new home search but shouldn't take long since I now have to pack everything AGAIN & there is nothing like a little procrastination 🎨
Days four & five: BRB sign in French & a swan #dailydraw 🦢🎨
Starting over with another 100 days of drawing 🎉 it's such a nice break from all the ahhhhh of the world. If you want to join, Sarah posts prompts daily on IG/FB (@themintgardener) #dailydraw

Happy Pride from the dogs of justice! #loveislove #dogsky
It's been ten years since he died. Seems like forever and just yesterday at the same time. Tana and I went and planted some thyme and cat mint at the family plot yesterday, as T said: he loved it when a cat chose his lap for a nap ❤️ miss you always dad.
Blast from the last, when little Breyer joined our family (he turned 5 this week) #dogsky #timelinecleanse
Dean Martin wanted to say hi to everyone, especially his biggest fans @drwendyrocks.bsky.social @katharinehayhoe.com #catsky #sciencecat
Student: Dr Barnes, you must really like that book Me: yep! 😃 Student: what class are you using it for? Me: Matthiessen (senior research course) Student: oh so I don't have to read it?? Me: not this year @drkatemarvel.bsky.social
Back at the farm w the kids -- best "coaching" gig around 🥬🫛
My sister @crazyctlady.bsky.social got a Ruthie a tutu and crown and needless to say she is very pleased. Hopefully this will make you smile on this very rainy, dreary Monday #dogsky
Happy gotcha day to this piglet! Ruthie B Ginsberg came to live with the kitties and me six years ago #dogsky
This follows a week long activity last week where they ran lemur DNA to determine if the dwarf lemurs were one or two species (unit: evolution)
Lemur trading cards researched and designed by my students - tomorrow we play "Adapt, Survive, or Die"
Ruthie is grateful to be reminded of what sunshine feels like
Given that he doesn't care about the consequences of his actions, it seems unlikely he would understand the consequences of a comma. But yeah this 🤬
A camp friend shared this photo of me (I'm 13) and my fav camp counselor (how I still long to be as amazing as Susan when I grow up) and it makes me sooooo happy, wistfully thinking about those summers hiking and studying nature in WV. No other place played a larger role in shaping my interests 💚
