My end of year brain cannot find a caption for this image that I took when I’d borrowed these awesome 3D printed pollen grains from Matthew @conservepalaeolab.bsky.social, but it’s begging for a joke about modeling and scale in Quaternary Science. Your suggestions?

#SciArtSeptember 1: Islet Somewhere in the waves of Barents Sea, a rocky islet acts as a perch for seabirds. Puffins, guillemots, razorbills and skuas are still here, though threatened by heating oceans and spreading disease. With them sits a lonely ghost of a great auk that once roamed these seas.

Yesterday was World Curlew Day & I printed this new collagraph. It’s called Whaup & it represents the light & dark aspects of this beautiful bird as reflected in folklore & its status as a red listed bird. It’s a joy to hear them from my studio tinged with sadness that one day they may not return.
