We visited the newly renovated Cleveland Museum of Natural History, and were delighted to find that they kept one of their best easter eggs on display. (Here's a hint if you're having problems finding it.)

Hi everyone and to new followers! Like my #scicomm? Instagram's algorithm is changing. Turn on notifications to never miss a post. Who am I? I’m Ashley Hall: Adult Programs Coordinator at the ‪Cleveland Museum of Natural History‬. I create fun and educational programs for adults at the museum, but also in conjunction with other local institutions like libraries, movie theatres, hiking stores, and more. Like a gem, my job is multi-faceted. Besides planning and conducting adult programs, I also teach classes for grades K-12 at the Museum in the galleries in the mornings, video conferencing classes with schools in different states (and countries!), and I also take our programs on the road (Science-to-Go!). I am a paleontologist and informal educator by training. I hold a B.A in Anthropology and Animal Behavior from Indiana University Bloomington. I studied animal bones at archaeological sites in Kansas and Wyoming to determine diet in Protohistoric plains hunter-gatherer groups. After college, I decided to pursue my lifelong dream of working in a ‪natural history museum‬. I spent 7 years working in the Education Division at the ‪Natural History Museum of Los Angeles‬ (@NHMLA) and the world famous La Brea Tar Pits where I was able to design research-based programming (public tours, school programs) to a wide variety of audiences. During this time, I worked for 5 years as Assistant Curator at the Raymond M. Alf Museum (@alfmuseum) of Paleontology under ceratopsian expert Dr. Andrew A. Farke where I excavated, catalogued, identified, and curated fossils from Bureau of Land Management Land from the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. While I don't have a PhD or Masters, I’ve published research on Pleistocene birds from the La Brea Tar Pits with Don Prothero and sauropod dinosaurs with my husband, Lee Hall (@paleeoguy). I love sharing my passion of natural history through social media, so feel free to follow my adventures on Instagram and Twitter! #museumed #ohiomuseums #naturalhistory #cleveland #cmnh #cle #wearestemsquad #wearescience #womeninstem #stem #science #jurassicpark #scied #scicomm #ohio #educator #paleontology #dinosaurs (at Cleveland Museum of Natural History)

For a long while I’ve wanted to draw this mummified cat I saw in the Egyptian Wing of our local museum, and what better time than now for my #13sketchesofhalloween! Sketch number 6. @carnegiemnh 🖤 #poisonappleprintshop #catmummy #mummifiedcat #cmnh
