The Nature of the Emporium

  • I (a science writer) wondered aloud if scientists had tattoos of their science. The answer was yes, and this site is the evidence. I'll be adding a new tattoo every day until I run out (if that day ever comes). If you want to share your own scientific ink, send it to me with some explanation.

Dinosaur Footprints

TrackwayJulia writes, "I got this tattoo done on Saturday. It's the same set of footprints I use in the avatar for my blog (The Ethical Palaeontologist), but in fact they're the narrow-gauge sauropod dinosaur trackways from the Ardley quarry in Oxfordshire. There's no deeper meaning other than the fact that I've spent most of my academic career working on sauropod dinosaurs. But there are plans for more, if I could just get hold of a decent black and white illustration of a sauropod dorsal vertebra in dorsal view..."

Carl: Here's a paper Julia co-wrote on what the trackways reveal about dinosaurs. [Update: Whoops, wrong Julia. Thanks for the correction, Julia...]

No it isn't - that was Julia Day! Plain old Julia Heathcote here...

But not the first time the two of us have been confused for the other.
