They had a wet specimen room at the museum in Bern, I had never seen jars with preserved penguins before! They had quite a few of them, all Adélie penguins sourced from the zoo in Basel

ID tag sorting for a small selection of skulls (new tags for some skulls to keep my catalog/log book of specimens up to date, I procrastinated it for a year lol), measurements and weight for the skull index (public resource of various skulls and such website I'm working on that's live), best thing I can do while I recover from a multiple cervical vertebrae fracture (broke my neck last Tuesday lol), too uncomfortable to sit at my desk so the bed it is.

Because polls get the most engagement I’m making a poll lol
(For the sake of this poll: a collector is anyone who *currently has* a collection of things either physically or digitally that they intentionally acquired which can be grouped together)
Please please please please pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase tell me what you collect and optionally why!!!! (This is doubly true if your collection is related to a regulatory/“special” interest!!!!!!! That’s honestly the only reason I’m making this poll, I am begging youuuuuuuuuuu
Neurodivergent related tags are for reach as I know a lot of neurodiverse people are collectors. I do try my best not to clutter those tags, if anyone has an issue with it please tell me and I’ll remove them
