Worth a read. I am not going to speak for Mexicans but I can only imagine the frustration.

You don’t have to take a fossil out of the country to make it inaccessible to its people. This is shady af and that the journal is backing them up says it all.

As an Egyptian I know what it’s like to have parts of your heritage taken out and then only a fraction of your family can see them.
Don’t tell me they are safer elsewhere.

A- that’s racist
B- spinosaurus 🙃
I want to be clear. Antiquities =\= fossils and natural heritage BUT Egypt has been asking for Nefertiti’s bust back for DECADES. At the time it was taken out it was illegal.

Laws alone are not enough. We have to say enough.

ITS OUT!✨

WE DISCOVERED A NEW WAY TO IMAGE FOSSIL CELL SPACES!

Yes, that spinning cell space is 400 mill-years-old, also turns out fossil fish gave us bone metabolism!

PhD chapter 1 is out:bit.ly/2PoUY3J

STORY TIME!

Many of you may have read the @nytimes article by @asher_elbein: nyti.ms/3caRvyn

Some of you may want more context as to how "normal" paleo fieldwork became a collapsing museum rescue mission AND case study in how to #DecolonizePaleontology

First, I'd like to shout out @nytimes and @asher_elbein for giving us a public platform for this.

This article has been in the works since January 2020!!

Also check out quotes from @emmadnn and @mauritiantales. These are THE people to follow!

The fact that it seems to coincide with certain ethically dubious fossils being published recently is a coincidence but also emphasizes how often this happens.

OH HEY THERE I’m Yara the Osteological Oligarch, and my face just got distributed across Berlin!!

So let me tell you a little about my PhD research on bone evolution (and bonus fossil virus evidence) in English! 🦠 🦴 💀 ✨

#Osteology #SciComm
Seriously tho..
MOM LOOK IM CENTERFOLD!!

My mother can’t read german.. I can’t read german.

It’s titled “the time traveler”.. either millions of years back or a year forward are my options tbh

But if you CAN read german here is the link: museumfuernaturkunde.berlin/sites/default/…
Ahem.
So I tweet about all kinds of natur-y things, many of you might wonder whats she actually study?

Right now, B O N E S🦴

While this was mostly for the 📸 I DO rely heavily on mammals for my research because humans and mice have been studied the most on a bone-cell level!

A thread 👇👇#scicomm
I study teeth.. but when animals lose their teeth through evolution they come up with other nightmarish solutions and I love them all.

Herons and Egrets have harpoon tongues.
Penguins have a solution for slippery fish.

Spoiler: Its a spike mouth.. like why did you go and lose teeth if you are just going go to do this!? 😒🐧
