It’s an absurdist joke. X)

Tried and true! I also add a jar because they make me jump, I can’t help it lol. I have had big orb spiders crawl on me in the woods while climbing in the US and we have large spiders here incl. the giant English house spider here. They are both the size of hands. Freak me the fuck out haha.

They keep the bad stuff out, I figure. I try to put them in my plant pots if I find them around.

Thank you fart✨sparkles. You are stunning too.

You can find pyrite fossils in Pennsylvania as well, surprisingly.

Me too, they’re so pretty. They basically fall out of the wall in Dorset.

You can see what happens when the wood gets exposed on the little black one. The big guy is clay.

One that’s mostly polished up:

I am saving these for teaching tools. They were collected with help from a good friend of mine that does palaeontology. My research is only Holocene lol.

I posted some snaps here when I first pulled them out of the ground of this batch. I haven’t polished the resin yet on most of the encased ones, but I’ll post a snap after my phone charges a little bit. I have some fossils that turned into clay, ancient wood fragments and belemnites in there too. All are from the Jurassic Coast in Dorset.

They will decay within 2 years after hitting oxygen. Solution: Encase them in resin. Source: What I did with these pyrite fossils on my desk.

Aberdeen and Glasgow too tbh.

You guys are gutting funding, unfortunately.

I live better and more cheaply here than I did in the US, to each their own.

Most countries welcome medical professionals with open arms. They are always shortlisted. ;)

PS: I love Slovenija, it is so pretty. I reccomend it too!

The world is looking to China too, their sciences are blossoming. Exciting times ahead while Americans decide who they are and want to be and eventually go through their own Enlightenment. Things are bad now, but tyrants always fall eventually. I think we are entering a sort of golden age for science.

Updating, tyvm.

One is! Another has passed the first round, but they are both a bit radical and I cannot include them everywhere. They are theory papers. Just have to finish the last bits of the thesis so I can show off the lab stuff. That is what I am applying on.

It’s from an Onion-esq science blog.

For the sleepy brains and ESL-ers: It is an idiom.

None of my stuff is published yet, wish me luck lmao.
