On Sunday, October 18th, we had the amazing opportunity to host a fossil cast painting workshop with @texassciencemuseum . Our fossil preparator and paleoartist, Erika Tandy, taught us how to paint a cast of 𝘊𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘤𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪 accurately using acrylic paints, brushes, and paper towels. 🎨🖌️ 𝘊𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘤𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪 is a type of brittle star found on slabs collected from Bouldin Creek here in Travis County. The cast specimen is about 85 million years old. A very large slab featuring dozens of brittle stars can be seen on the first floor of the museum.🌊 Thanks to Texas Science & Natural History Museum for putting this event together, to Dr. Liam Norris for assisting Erika, and to everyone who joined us. We hope you had as much fun as we did! 🧡✨🧡 What kind of fossil casts would you want to learn to paint next? Let us know in the comments below, and join the museum email list to learn about future events!👇👇

I’ve been helping produce PROMPT Austin for the past couple of months, and it’s all happening this Monday during Austin Tech Week! We’re bringing together founders, investors, executives, and creative leaders for a full day of conversations around AI and how it’s changing the way we lead, build, and make decisions. We have an incredible lineup of speakers, panels, workshops, and plenty of opportunities to connect throughout the day. Plus, we’re taking care of everyone from breakfast through dinner, ending the day with local wines, craft cocktails, live-fire bites, and a chef-led dinner at the Texas Science & Natural History Museum. Would love to see some familiar faces there! Tickets are linked in my bio. Monday, October 26 | Austin, TX #PROMPTAustin #AustinTechWeek #AI

🦖💚 There’s one thing we DID know: We’re really going to miss Dr. Liam! After countless fossils, dinosaurs, surprising discoveries and plenty of things that made us say “I Didn’t Know That!”, our favorite friendly neighborhood paleontologist @brontonorris is heading off on a brand-new adventure. Of course, we couldn’t let him leave without one final lesson, so Dr. Liam turned the tables and put OUR prehistoric knowledge to the test with the I Didn’t Know That Game Show! 🦕🧠🏆 Think you know your dinosaurs? Play along with us and test YOUR knowledge! Head to the link in our bio to watch the full game show and see if you can beat Trevor and Sierra’s scores. 👀 Liam, thank you for making learning ridiculously fun, for always being game for our silliness and for becoming such a special part of our We Are Austin family. We can’t wait to see what you unearth in this next chapter. ❤️ And remember, friends: @texassciencemuseum isn’t going anywhere! Go explore, get curious and keep saying, “I didn’t know that!” 🔎🦴✨
