#introduction round 2. I am a paleoecologist taking a break after burning myself out. I, when not sitting on a hill indefinitely, conduct research on #burgessshale preservation, #paleozoic #foraminifera in basin deposits, experiment with S.pastieri as an #MICP source for non-hydraulic cement, and #cretaceous #methaneseep assemblages in the #WIS.

But lately I have been making soap and salves and am considering driving around in a devked out caravan like a snake oil salesperson.

🗓🔬🐚Happy #ForamFriday!

Check out this winning entry to The Micropaleontologist Society calendar competition! #TMSocCalendar23

Not #ForamFriday, but I'd like to kick off mastodon by introducing this beautiful #benthicforams called Globobulimina, a microfossil that I'm using to reconstruct bottom water temperatures changes in the last 30.000 years at intermediate depths of the eastern North Atlantic 🧐🐚🔬the #deepocean from the past has a lot to tell us :ablobattention: :ablobcatbongo: #micropaleontology #microfossils #foraminifera #womeninstem #science #latinasinstem #womeninscience #paleoceanography #climatechange
