There's a new US bill designed to support the development of worker-owned businesses in the US economic system! Petition linked here: usworker.coop/blog/workercoo…
So curious to see how this lawsuit against major academic publishers works out. It hinges on the broader societal impacts of peer review being an unpaid gig.
Do you think science would be better if we were paid for reviewing articles? I'm unconvinced

Does luck influence your risk of death, and if so, what might that mean for studies of ancient health?
To find out, join us for our next seminar @ 1pm 18/10 AEDT, where Bronwyn Wyatt (ANU) will present her research exploring the complexity of mortality in past peoples!

A new method of adult age estimation from the brilliant Jisun Jang - all you need is a laser scanner and R! If anyone gives it a go I'd love to hear how you get on sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Feeling beyond lucky for the pleasure and privilege of working with this group and getting to be the architect of tiny multilingual worlds 😊. Honestly can't believe how cool my job is
Brainstorming and collective work on modeling multilingualism in our @ERC_Research #MULTILING-HIST project with our team members in @MPI_EVA_Leipzig Amy Anderson @skeletonreader and @heidiColleran So much fun!
What a joy to finally present this work to a room full of paleopathologists!

"Paleopathology has a critical—and unmet—need for community spaces dedicated to testing and improving observer concordance."
Our field relies on the expert judgement of individual osteologists -- But do 4 out of 5 osteologists agree on what they see?

Teetering between love of the all-research soft money life and the viscerally destabilizing impotence of waiting to hear back from funding institutions.
Excellent write-up of recent work on land rights among Siberian nomadic pastoralists by my imminent spouse Paul Hooper, featuring discussions of foraging and anarchism, two of our favorite household topics.

Big congratulations to @AnthroLiz, the newly minted Dr. Agey!!!
I love my graduate cohort to the moon. It's been such a joy to watch my academic sisters grow as scientists and as people over the better part of the last decade.

Perfect music for a quiet rainy day at home.
This article resurfaces in my feed periodically. The first time I read it, I felt like a fish learning that they've been IN this water thing they've heard about, all along. Buried memories and unexamined norms burned bright.
