Welcome to the Bone Blog!

Welcome!!
Here is a short post introducing the blog.

Who are you?
I'm Yara Haridy, and this is my blog. I am PhD student studying Bone Evolution so technically I am Vertebrate Paleontologist, but-and this is a big but- I study modern animals, cells, ecology and basically anything and everything that fascinates me.
There will be occasional guest bloggers because although I love my own voice, I'd like to amplify the voices of others too.

Happy to finally be outside

Whats this blog about?
All about Fossils, Bones, Teeth and everything in between.
This blog will be 50% educational and 50% personal musings about all kinds of natural things that fascinate me, but don't worry it will also be 100% me not taking myself too seriously.

The best of mammals

Whats the Plan?
The plan right now is "The Bare Bones" series.
Where whole disciplines or sub-disciplines are taken down to their 'Bare bones' and explained simply. The hope is that these blogs can be great references on which to build on larger concepts.

What about the rest of the website?
The rest of the website is my personal website where you can keep up with my professional career, new publications, my science communication projects etc.
This is also a steady way for you to contact me for speaking opportunities/jobs etc.

Below is a teaser of some of the content I will be posting, This is me waking up a fossil fish from its slumber in a concretion.
