Blue isopods with ribbons🎀
There are Powder Blue Isopods (Porcellionides pruinosus) of various sizes on a pastel pink background.
All of them are hanging with large and small ribbons. Happy and lovely atmosphere.

More old work for #TrilobiteTuesday - specimen of Phacops 🐡
A stippled ink illustration of a fossil of a Phacops trilobite. It's an animal with a very rounded first segment and large eyes, and it's curved upward a bit on its matrix like a banana.

Even *if* their fossil collections were somehow rehoused at other institutions, the potential closure of the Paleontological Research Institute would be an incalculable loss to specimen-based research. It would also eliminate an immensely important educational facility for students and the public. 🧪

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳
