My name is June, I am a paleobiologist living in Corvallis OR with my 10 year old dachshund Dirk, 13 year old Dachshund Cuddles and 5 year old Dachshund Gertrude. I graduated from Oregon State University with a degree in Zoology and now study small desert rodent mandibular and isotopic fluctuations as they pertain to diet shifts, and species buffering. I have a passion for fermenting foods, making my own wine and cider and anything handmade.
