Well, the #bonsai are definitely well insulated now. #YVR #Vancouver #snow
Also looking to follow #bonsai folks. Been growing trees for a few years. Finally have a proper bench and growing set up, but everything is covered in snow. I’ll post my trees soon enough!
In the meantime, I got one of my Corylus trees tattooed on my arm so I can enjoy it year round. #tattoos
This is me at #agu22. If you see me, say hi 👋 I’m generally pretty friendly.

Since I'm on here now, I thought it would be fun to show how you can use the #rstats neotoma2 package (https://github.com/NeotomaDB/neotoma2) to quickly find Mastodon fossils!

Spin up this web-based RStudio instance: https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/NeotomaDB/Current_Workshop/main?urlpath=rstudio
Then run:

library(neotoma2)
mastodon <- get_sites(taxa="Mammut%", all_data = TRUE)
plotLeaflet(mastodon)

And that's it!
