Pottery and Paleontology

Hello! I am a twenty-something Vancouverite (living in Calgary) about to defend my masters thesis (in December) on the fin-to-limb transition in early tetrapods. When our fish ancestors developed limbs with fingers and toes, trust me I've looked inside a lot of limbs now, and fossil limbs are pretty cool (so are platypus and otter limbs). I discovered my love for pottery about 6 years ago now, and it is my stress releiving activity (there is a high correlation to my grumpyness and how long it's been since I've been to the studio). This is my blog dedicated to all my pottery things! But if you know anyone in need of a fossil preparator, or to work on analysing microCT scan data, let me know, I'm going to need a real life job soon... my etsy link: https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/ThePalaeoPotter

Went for a nice bike ride the other day after work! Found the snow geese, met some beefy buds, and ate fish and chips without gastrointestinal destruction for the first time in a long time! (at Steveston Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVTGksgP7a4/?utm_medium=tumblr

And even more exciting, I'm helping my neighbour with beekeeping. It's so interesting, I've realized how little I know specifically about honey bees, even though I've taught some basic invertebrate anatomy. Did I mention how exciting it is!
