Susan Hendrickson was a high school dropout who became a self taught paleontologist and archeologist on expeditions. She discovered the largest T. rex specimen of all time. Now she’s a dive archeologist in Egypt and Honduras. Like an actual Indiana Jones who is good at her job.

First off: The Museum of Sex is literally. built around being a good, flirty date spot. Second counterpoint: Museums are a date not based around food and drinking. Perfect for sober folks. Third: I live in a museum; how dare you.
A take from @1followernodad: Museums are garbage date spots

Hey Sophie! Welcome to the exclusive Most Complete Fossil Club. Members include: Haddy the Hadrosaurus, Horridus the Triceratops, and Little Foot the Australopithecus. We have a few living members, but most of them are busy with congress. That's a little America joke for you.
This is the most complete #Stegosaurus ever found. 🤯. It lived about 150 million years ago and was discovered in 2003 by fossil hunter Bob Simon in Wyoming. Now found in our Earth Hall, this delightful dinosaur named Sophie welcomes visitors every day! 👇
