2nd seed Ambelodon vs 1st seed Pygmy Hippo: EYEING ME, SPYING ME, ROLL OUT!

In the final showdown of the tournament we found our combatants in the Cloud Forest of Colombia (specifically the World Heritage designated Los Katios National Park). The forest habitat felt very at home to the Hippo, although some huffing & puffing due to the altitude.

Woooo buddy, it’s been quite the 34 hours. Sunday night I was looking for super hero t-shirts in the “girls” section at a Big Box Store, not finding them, and then unwittingly jumped down a rabbit hole.

From the home, to the classroom, to the store, our culture reinforces limitations on children due to their sex/gender. As a scientist who works on inclusivity in academia and science, I spend a lot of time thinking about the pipeline.
