†Diacodexis spp.
Art credit: WillemSvdMerewe
Some 55 million years ago, more than 10 million years after the mass extinction which ended the reign of the dinosaurs, animals looked very different from how they do today. This is Diacodexis, one of the earliest known hoofed mammals- related to modern deer and pigs, yet it could not be more different. Its body was less than two feet long, with a trailing cat-like tail. It seems to have been a herbivore, and was found across western Eurasia and North America until 46 million years ago.
Hello! If you're feeling up to it, could I get both a general reading and a relationship reading? Thanks!
General reading: You got the Devil. Be wary of someone taking advantage of you, or finding yourself in a corner or feeling trapped. Your second card is the Two of Wands. You may find yourself looking at a new journey ahead of you, go forth with courage.
Relationship reading: The Queen of Pentacles. Sharing your strength and lending your support is important at this time. Your second card is the Page of Swords. Being honest and true to your words is a big part of this card right now. Don’t let anyone criticize your beliefs without you defending yourself as well.
Re mental health day: I usually say I've got food poisoning. Mental health days in my experience are pretty much Not Allowed by most employers... :/
Yeah, that’s my experience as well. I think I can text in to my boss now, but when I’ve had to physically talk to them it sucked trying to sound sick, even though I know they can’t ask. I used to work where I would call in by calling a call center basically, and they couldn’t care less if i was lying or not.
Hey Katie! I'm graduating with a BS in biology in a couple months, so I'm internship hunting/trying to decide on next steps. I thought I'd drop by and ask if you did any internships or beginner level jobs that you'd recommend. I'm happy to travel (money allowing)- mostly I'm just looking for ideas. Anything in wildlife biology, conservation, evolutionary/ genetics research (+field work), paleontology, natural history, museum work, interpretation, or zoo jobs would be right up my alley. Thanks!
Awesome!! GOOD LUCK, right off the bat. Getting internships and jobs is REALLY HARD in science right now, but if you’re persistent and passionate, it WILL pay off.
You’ve definitely got a broad field of interest, which is good for you, but might come off weird to potential employers. If I were you, I’d try to focus on 2-3 areas and one or two things that “drive” you. For example, I applied for jobs in animal care and rehab, and my “drives” were conservation and education. Then, when you write your cover letters, they can see what it is that you want to get out of this position. Be especially careful if you apply for multiple positions at one employer. They can frequently cross-check your applications and are likely to dismiss someone who applies for anything from janitor to manager to accountant to scuba diver. They want to see your focus.THAT SAID, there are lots of places to look for jobs and internships! Your willingness to travel is HUGE. Many, many people I have met along the way are hesitant to move, and end up slowly grinding away at in one position when they could be gaining experience elsewhere. I suggest first asking your major advisors at school. This is their job!! Guaranteed, they know of lots of different places that previous students have moved on to. They may also be able to hook you up with another professor who needs an assistant!
If you’re looking for animal care stuff, AZA.org/jobs is easily the best place to troll. The AAZK board can also be a great place to look. Lately, there’s a lot more jobs that are more diverse as well, so it might be an interesting place to look even if you’re not into animal care.
I’m assuming you’re in the US (but I could be wrong...) but I know there’s lots of jobs on government and school sites. USAjobs.com and the Texas A&M Fish and Wildlife Board are the ones I see listed the most. Google your local government sites as well.
Again, good luck!! It’s really hard, and you’ll have to put in a LOT of applications. Many animal internships won’t even interview you until you’ve applied twice. Persistence pays off, keep applying and trucking until you get it!
👌!
👌 back at u !
1 and 3!
1. What house will you be in?Probably hufflepuff, though i’ve gotten slytherin many times from pottermore
3. What kind of animal would you bring to school?I think about this a lot, actually. Also, I always wonder if other pets allowed other than cats, toads, and owls? From those three, probably an owl.
Send me Hogwarts life asks!
