The amount of field scientists glueing themselves is crazy. They should have class on "How not to glue yourself in the field"

Pre-dive I ripped duck tape with my mouth. Pulled skin from both lips. I imagine along with the pain the salt water had a cleansing effect..

Having your overnight mosquito traps returned to you by the Sheriff because an old lady thought it was "meth paraphernalia".

Science always seems really sexy until you see the work involved.

The drugged zebra made me laugh far more than is reasonable

Safari ant bites are fucking painful! And they can climb THROUGH smart wool socks

Could someone explain the damselfly cannibalism one to me
KeezieWeezie
the damselflies ate each other, now their sample is only half of what they had originally.
mirdreams
I think their sample population started eating each other.

This is great.

As a scientist, these kinds of posts warm my heart but also bring back memories of horrible fuck ups.
ProfessorDumbass
So big things chase you and small things bite you..I will skip fieldwork thanks

#6 if you're in a lab...is it really fieldwork?

Any sentence starting with "When your drugged zebra..." is bound to be a good time.

Gee, random manta ray! Why does Dr. Alistair Dove let you have TWO thousand dollar satellite tags?

Omg the elephant blood. That's heartbreaking to lose all of that work.
terithian
And horrifying if anyone saw a suitcase leaking blood on a plane.

Just think how the elephant felt

Now I'm curious what fossils taste like.

This is the matrix, everything tastes like chicken.

depends on fossil. have a fossilized poo. tasted like the way dust smells, with a hint of rainy day.
Tesseract09
That story is a load of copralite
UnpinionedPoplars
Petrified poop possesses a palate of petrichor?
almostsomething182
Damn... alliteration and the proper word for that rainy-day-smell? Props.
Katpunmatsu
affirmative. fragments of fecal fossils found in fill fuse with familiar fragrance.
Goath3ad
the way to discern them from rocks is that they taste slightly salty

The point was that a (dry) bone will stick to your tongue, a rock will not
viila
This is because fossils are porous, while rocks generally aren't. There are porous rocks, but they're not usually confusable with fossils.
smogswallowssuns
Licked an ammonite fossil. Slightly salty, metallic taste.

Pyritisation! God i miss geology...

These are the kid of job anecdotes I want to read.
catscatsyeahcats
I needed adult GI worms from sheep, which you can collect if you get a call that someone's sheep has died suddenly. Got a call, went to (1)
catscatsyeahcats
the farm to open the sheep and stomach to collect the worms. Was told on the phone it was in the barn. When I got there, I was told it (2)
catscatsyeahcats
had been moved to "the pile". Which was apparently where they put everything that died. So there were animals there in various states of (3)
catscatsyeahcats
decay. I opened it up on this 93F degree day, it was bloated as fuck. Found 0 worms. Then the lady told me it had been dead 24 hours (4)
catscatsyeahcats
which is way too late to find worms. She also brought her small granddaughter who was very upset yelling "That's my sheep!"
