For the last day of my Paleoecology senior capstone, students made PSA-style posters in class. For the prompt, I asked them, “what’s one idea from studying the past that will help us protect the future?” Here’s what they came up with.

A hand-drawn colorful image of a nautilus, feathered dinosaur, and trilobite, reading “Nature is resilient, but we might not be. Protect our place on Earth.”

A pencil sketch of dinosaurs on the left and birds and reptiles on the right, reading “RESILIENCE: a species may die…but their memory lives on.”

A colorful sketch of insects on green paper reading “Protect all species: even the ones you don’t like.”

A black sketch on yellow paper depicting a lion in Europe, camel in North America, and tropical and temperate trees growing together. It reads NICHES: broader than you think!

I normally don’t post my art (mosaics, stained glass and watercolor). But this piece was made for my husband who is visually impaired. This is a mosaic tactile piece called “Looking Up”. He loves touching redwoods so now he can go get a feel of glass bark, when we are not actually in a forest.

Not all seeds have endosperm as their storage tissue. Some seeds store the energy needed for germination in the embryo’s cotyledons. You know peanuts: the 2 halves are the 2 cotyledons. The embryonic root & shoot are the little structures at the base. #cotyledon #Fabaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

If you're waiting on a reply, a peer review, or other effort from me--please be patient. I urgently left to document a developing forest die-off event more intense than any I've seen. No obvious biotic agents, dead & dying include multiple Pinus & Juniperus, many Quercus, & shrubs. #WhatKillsTrees
