  8. Max’s Mobile Museum #M3 is out for the 2nd time in two days, this time at San Jacinto Elementary. We’re showing the differences between American & Pacific mastodons. The femur of Pacific mastodons (on the right) are visibly more robust than in American mastodons (on the left).

  9. Today at the museum:
    While I was in the lab, a visiting researcher was telling an amusing personal story to several of my employees. I wasn’t really listening, but it was convoluted and had something to do with DandD. The she got to the punchline and shouted

    “Leedsichthys!”

    And my employees laughed and laughed!

    I love my job!
