  7. Being the NASA Artist in Residence was a "very weird job." 🚀 It was such a dream come true, at first she didn't believe them. For nearly 3 yrs she got to be "a fly on the wall", fascinated by whiteboards for future projects that were "40 ft long with 10,000 yr timelines".

  9. Instead of scolding her, her mother said "I didn't know what a great swimmer you were. And what a wonderful diver". "That moment changed my life...I learned everything... that oftentimes you don't deserve what you get. Also that words are so powerful."

  15. The birds prefer certain mammals and tick species; in many areas, domestic cattle are now the preferred host. They are also known to eat carrion. Elephants do not like oxpeckers and try to shake them off- possibly because they're sensitive to their sharp claws. 😭

  16. Related to starlings, their genus name Buphaga literally means "ox-eater." Found in the African savanna, they spend most of their day eating ticks and insects off of large mammals- but they will also feed on their wounds, ear wax and mucous from the nose and eyes. 😓
