It’s Darwin Day 2015 (or will be shortly), and also on this blog it’s Freezermas, a time of contemplative dissection of morphology and its history. This year I won’t be doing the crazy 7 posts in 7 days that I’ve done before (see 14 past ones here), and I won’t be doing a customary homage to […]

The Existentialist Penguin
Posted in Exalting Archosauria, tagged anatomy, boids, CT, in all seriousness, life/death, penguin on April 25, 2014| 16 Comments »
It’s World Penguin Day! Watch your back though… these penguins aren’t as nice as they seem. But they need us to be nice to them! Whether you watch a classic GIF like the one above, or a kid-friendly TV/film documentary, you might get the impression that penguins lead carefree, or at least silly or slapstick, lives– […]

Hey I almost forgot, it’s the blog’s second anniversary! What the hell happened this year? Stomach-Churning Rating: there’s an 8/10 photo of ostrich guts here; otherwise 2/10ish. This was the Year of the Rant, and I enjoyed ranting to you on this blog. Sometimes you ranted with me, and that was even better. It kicked […]
Guest Post: Bringing the Heat with Rhino Feet!

Today, to help thaw you poor Americans out of that Arctic Vortex, we have a guest post bringing the heat, by my PhD student Sophie Regnault! This relates to some old posts about rhinos, which are a mainstay here at the WIJF blog- I’ve posted a lot about the rhino extinction crisis, feet, skin, big and […]
A Blitz Through Bizarre Basal Birds

Less words, more pictures in this post, and I’ll get the one lame cake joke out of the way early. I’ve nearly finished my research blitz through the postcranial material of the NHM-Tring’s osteological collection and have made some pit-stops for cake skulls now and then when I see one that pleases me. Now I shall […]
A Chance Encounter with Darwin’s Chickens. And Cake.
Posted in Exalting Archosauria, Geeking Out, Museums are Cool, tagged anatomy, boids, Danger: Double Entendres, dem bones, juvenile antics, museum, patella, sesamoid on May 14, 2013| 8 Comments »
I’ve been doing some osteological studies of the patella (bone in the major tendon in front of the knee; termed a sesamoid) that have included frequent visits to the Natural History Museum’s avian skeleton collection at Tring. It’s a cute little town, northeast of London, in the green county of Hertfordshire where I live and […]
What’s It Like Spending a Year in John’s Freezer?
Posted in Utter Frivolity, tagged admin, freezer love, heavy breathing on March 3, 2013| 12 Comments »
Chilly 1st Birthday to You, WIJF Blog! It has indeed been a year of blogging now! And it has been a very fun year at that. Here is my look back at past events on this blog. Stomach-Churning Rating: 8/10- some heavy-hitters in here, but to regular Freezerinos they will mostly be familiar. NUMB WITH […]

…a daily picture of anatomy! And today it is four pictures; da-da-dee! ♫ Welcome back again, again to Freezermas! Today I’m shimmying down your interwebz with a late delivery. I’ve promised before to show how we clean up our nasty gooey skeletons to preserve them for future research to use. This is the intended final destination of all critters that […]

…a daily picture of anatomy! And today it is three pictures, scoob-a-dee! Welcome back again to Freezermas! For the previous days of Freezermas we first had 1 picture, then 2, now guess how many we have today? Right, we’ve settled into a groove and have three (plus one silly one). Today is fresh beefy anatomy day! No focus on […]
