Rachel M. Winter, PhD
@RachelMWinter_
National Endowment for the Humanities fellow currently at Winterthur Museum + upcoming #MSCA on #marineshagreeen. Biomolecules, Arctic ecogeochem, and ecology.
Very excited to share that my #MSCA fellowship application for my project FINS (Finding the Identifiable Species in Shagreen) has been successful! With FINS I will study marine #shagreen objects for insights into the #historicalecology and exploitation of #elasmobranchs!🦈



I got back from Egypt this week and of course I can't go anywhere without keeping an eye out for #MarineShagreen so here are a couple of the gorgeous pieces I saw at the Abdeen Palace Museum in Cairo!



Hoping to see many of you this afternoon at 16:00 CET!
