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…
Every time I see a trans woman with history, surviving and thriving and doing cool shit, it gives me absolute euphoria
Feeling this one resonate hard. Really not sure what's so difficult about putting yourself inside another person's experience that they're taking the time and energy to explain to you.... Except is this me being unempathetic about people who find empathy difficult?
All jobs are precarious these days, so I try to make my peace with that part of it. The research is the big pull for me, and the big push is the sheer geographic spread of the opportunities and how difficult that is if you're partnered with someone who can't follow you.
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!
it's the same mountain range that runs through Scotland (continental drift).
I remember thinking they were only hills because I'd only known young mountains. But when you get up in them, the energy is palpable.
