As we gear up for field teaching season, I have a question for #geology and #geoscience Twitter. Do you talk to your undergrads about going to the toilet in the field, and specifically about having a period on fieldwork?.

Aimovig is generally working really well at reducing my migraines to a manageable level, but annoyingly I’m suffering from a rare severe side effects. My doctor is having me try out a medication to counter it… and one of it *its* side effects is severe headaches 🤦.

For #FossilFriday I’m going to indulge myself by spending some time segmenting this deliciously noisy CT scan. There’s a whole 3D skull in there, honestly 🤩
