Whew! It's a hot one out there today! The coolest thing you can do right now is make a donation to sponsor a fossil jacket and support our research -- no bones about it! 🤣😐(Sorry, couldn't help ourselves!) #OperationDinoJacket https://www.bbpaleo.org/dinojackets Link in bio. . . . #dinosaurs #paleontology #paleontologist #makeadifference #science #stem #scientists #research #instascience #instaresearch #earth #instaearth #dino #rex #museum #instatoday #montana #philadelphia
Sometimes I wonder where we'd be if we didn't have such wonderful friends. I tried to thank this sweet girl and her mom for everything they did for us last summer by sending them a gift card, and all they did with it was save it for 9 months and then use it to buy us some supplies and equipment! Thank you, Kasey and Madeline! Can't wait to see you guys in a few weeks! . . . #dinosaurs #paleontology #paleontologist #makeadifference #science #stem #scientists #research #instascience #instaresearch #earth #instaearth #dino #rex #museum #instatoday #montana #philadelphia #montanamoment #friends #lowes #thankyou
Today is this young lady's 18th birthday! We'll miss you this season, Meghan Forcellati, but there's always a spot for you on the expeditions! Go make a splash at Columbia this fall, and come back to Montana in 2020!
Gorgeous day here in Philly today, but we've already had days in the 90s this spring. Meanwhile, in camp at Yellowstone Bighorn Research Association , this happened just LAST WEEKEND!! Can't wait to be there in 2 weeks and to start the #2019FieldExpedition! . . . #dinosaurs #paleontology #paleontologist #makeadifference #science #stem #scientists #research #instascience #instaresearch #earth #instaearth #dino #rex #museum #instatoday #montana #philadelphia #montanamoment
Sure, you could buy your dad a lawnmower or a tie for Father’s Day . . . but sponsoring a #dinosaur fossil jacket would be WAY cooler! And more meaningful! Sponsor one in his name and help us reach our goal for #OperationDinoJacket ! https://www.bbpaleo.org/dinojackets . . . #dinosaurs #paleontology #paleontologist #makeadifference #science #stem #scientists #research #instascience #instaresearch #earth #instaearth #dino #rex #museum #instatoday #montana #philadelphia
