Doing what I do, including but not limited to: managing the FLMNH mammal collection, running, dog-wrangling, appreciating beer. Tweets are all mine so hands off

Been a mammal packed day post-#ASMBoulder vacation. Mt. Blue Sky brought all the marmots, sheep, and mountain goats! Our Airbnb in Steamboat Springs came with a backyard moose!

Attn @Mammalogists at #ASMBoulder! If you are a @inaturalist user, please search and join the ASM Boulder project! That will be a great place to share all the cool taxa you are seeing around town for the meeting! HMU if you have any questions.
I’m have so many questions that will never get answered.
ALT A skull of a squirrel monkey with its skeleton. There is a piece of paper with data showing it was collected in central Florida, where squirrel monkeys most definitely don’t live.

My local brewery recently started canning my favorite hazy and my mammalogist/pocket gopher loving heart is just so, so happy. I feel like I should bring some to #ASMBoulder in June 🤣

As a collections manager, nothing makes me happier than getting material returned to me that has been lost for decades (and not on a loan either...). Today 10 lost specimens got returned! #SmallVictories

An almost yearlong journey neared completion in late 2023 as a 21-foot-long skeleton was cleaned in a Smithsonian lab. Collected following the death of a stranded Orcinus orca, these bones make up the first and only mature orca skeleton in our collection. s.si.edu/47sCYHR

Day 4 of #Museum30: Document. Here in the mammal collections we help document biodiversity for future generations through the preservation of mammal specimens. But sometimes we also document the ones that we couldn't keep.
Day 2 of #Museum30: Introduction! Introducing people to the mammal collections at the @FloridaMuseum is probably my favorite thing. Showing off the diversity & talking about the importance of collections is something I consider to be one of the most important parts of my job 🧀😊
Day 1 of #museum30: Museum! I’m with the @FloridaMuseum. Our mission is to inspire people to care about life on Earth. Pictured: Dickinson Hall, where many of our research collections are housed. Peep the megladon jaw in the window on the left!
