Who’s up for a game of hide-and-seek this Trilobite Tuesday? Pictured is Arctinurus boltoni, a 420-million-year-old trilobite from the Rochester Shale Quarry of New York. It’s preserved alongside a crinoid—a marine organism that used feather-like arms to catch drifting food particles. Though they resemble plants, crinoids are actually animals. The proximity of these two ancient organisms, frozen together in time, makes for some interesting speculation. Could this trilobite have been hiding behind a crinoid? And if so, why? #fossils #paleontology #trilobite #scienceisforeveryone #amnh https://www.instagram.com/p/CoFbfbaLoBw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I came across both these designs on the same day this week and their existence makes me hopeful that we are making progress (however slow) in the right direction. Astronomy (and science) is for everyone and needs to be free of barriers to access for all oppressed minority groups. This requires all of us with privilege to do some heavy lifting for however long it takes. 

Show your support for those who feel excluded from the field with this Safe Space fleece sweatshirt from Hello (ht @MxHarperion).

And help this Space Queer design campaign become reality on Cotton Bureau - sales end January 30th at 8pm ET (TOMORROW NIGHT). Available as a t-shirt or sweatshirt. 

Lastly, if you don’t know about Inclusive Astro already, go follow them on Twitter and learn how you can help.

Now that the younger generation is running our outreach group, I get to play around with a video camera and iMovie. I'm actually really hoping I take this hobby seriously, I think it could be a great thing for our visibility in the community and hopefully a resource for the people we can't physically reach. Unfortunately it's one of those hobbies that take BUUTTTloads of time.

JHU Physics and Astronomy Grads bring space into the classroom. Last month we unveiled our off-the-shelf planetarium to a 5th grade class in downtown Baltimore. Baltimore City Public Schools' communications put together a really nice story of the days' events!

**Edit: I just realized because I finally watched it that you have to start the video at four minutes!!

To hear a bit more and see some other photos, here's a video of our return to Ignite Baltimore to talk about how we've done with the project.

To be honest I haven't watched it because I've terrified of hearing my own voice.
