Next time you're at the @FieldMuseum make sure to take a look at the floors! There are some awesome #fossils in the limestone!

Seeing the new hyena diorama at the @FieldMuseum brought me to tears. Thank you @Ehmee for breathing life into the powerful art of diorama fabrication. It gives me hope for the future of natural history museums. #sciart #diorama #museums

Hey #SPNHC2019 zoologists and bird enthusiasts - saw this bird on my morning run. Is it a black-capped night heron?

Paul Mayer of @FieldMuseum kicking off one of the morning sessions talking about his work over the past decade digitizing the fossil invertebrate collection. Largely a local collection w/ upwards of 2 million specimens. #SPNHC2019

When a family loves fossils, amazing things happen! The Pankowski family hunts fossils online and donates them to collections. They find specimens, read the literature to see if it has never been described, and collaborate with scientists. And even use Christmas money!

Awesome to hear from inspiring young students Mary and Max Pankowski at #SPNHC2019 who use their babysitting money to search online to buy specimens to donate to museums worldwide. So far they have found more than 20 new species, and even co-authored papers. 👏👏👏

This paleo family does this to further our scientific understanding of #fossil organisms. They start on @eBay looking for eye catching specimens. They are currently focusing on insects in amber, which requires them to brush up on entomology. #SPNHC2019

As a fellow curator of a historic collection I can relate to the “weight” of more than a century’s-worth of backcataloging. Paul Mayer of @FieldMuseum has a good method of breaking digitization into smaller chunks. #SPNHC2019 “Take the grade C specimens and bring them up to an A”

TFW you get to hold something that contains some of the oldest objects formed in the solar system. 🤯 Thank you SO MUCH for the tour, Jim, and #SPNHC2019 for giving us all a peek behind the scenes. #meteoritesrock
