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 🌾🧪🌱

Reading one of the first publications documenting circadian rhythms in humans and it’s essentially two professors torturing an assistant prof. so i guess not much has changed in academia in 130 years 🙃

#InkTober2025 Day 8: Reckless. Was planning to draw an eloborate scene from the time when birds ate horses. But it was one of those days and I’m glad I at least got this guy on paper, Terrorbird Titanis walleri. Based on Blue Rhino Studio’s amazing diorama, brushpen with Copic markers.
