@themadstone.bsky.socialMinutes after doors opened on the very last day of the oldest natural history museum in the western hemisphere 😭 #savetheacademy
@savetheacademy.bsky.socialThe Academy of Natural Sciences is set to close its doors to the public after today.
We can #savetheacademy!
8000 people visited yesterday. Today at 5pm, there will be a vigil and a walk to City Hall. Join us! and visit save-the-academy.org for action items all of us can do! ❤️🦖

@lanajpratt.bsky.socialMy unfinished contribution to the ANSP #paleostream
I've been very privileged to grow up with and later contribute to the Academy, it is a second home and fundamentally responsible for me as a person. To close it is to kneecap the future, erase the past, and cripple our heritage...
@savetheacademy.bsky.socialSave the Academy of Natural Sciences!
We have political support. We have an offer of financial support.
We can #savetheacademy!
Let’s do this! 🔥🔥
@roserisenn.bsky.socialAnd finally, here's my Flocking #paleostream art of a Hadrosaurus foulkii--the first dinosaur species mounted in America, currently at the ANSP--on the move with a bristly baby (representing science's continuous advancement). My bad for any inaccuracies--I misheard the time limit 😅

@multiphasic.bsky.socialNERDS ON THE MARCH
@savetheacademy.bsky.socialYes! I’m so glad you got to visit today! #savetheacademy
@cringefry.bsky.socialI got to see the Academy of Natural Sciences today.
It made me even more excited to pursue a career in field research or specimen collection
My ecology professor started his career here.
200+ years of history. Lets fight to keep it alive #SaveTheAcademy @savetheacademy.bsky.social

The idea of losing America's oldest natural history museum and its valuable specimens, including the holotype of the first dinosaur ever found in the US, is mortifying.
Public knowledge of our world and its past is the right of present and future generations!

See you at the Academy of Natural Sciences!!! Let’s #savetheacademy !💃❤️🦖

I protested during my lunch breaks to save Dream Garden, the Tiffany-Parrish stained glass mural in the foyer of my old office building, the Curtis Center, and it worked. You can do it again, Philly!

@dynamoterror.bsky.socialHadrosaurus foulkii, the first dinosaur discovered in North America and one whose holotype is housed at the currently-threatened Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. If the academy is shut down, this and thousands of other irreplaceable specimens will likely be lost. #SavetheAcademy #sciart

@bwalnuts.bsky.socialAs a science creator I really think @hankgreen.bsky.social should speak out and ask his community to help with #savetheacademy to save the Academy of Natural History in Philly that is on the verge of closing this weekend
