Interviewée par les copains Ben et Cécile 🙌 🤍 J'y parle de mon parcours post-thèse avec en toile de fond mes problèmes de santé mentale. #depression #burnout #postdoc

I'm in a very dark place, again. Heavily depressed, suicidal ideas. Hopeless. Exhausted.

🥳It's here! The latest PAGES Magazine on "Early Human Traces: Landscape Openness Proxies Across Space and Time" is available to read online! 👣 Happy reading! 👉 shorturl.at/Gp7HN #Anthropocene #Paleoanthropocene

I contributed to the special issue of PAGES magazine, "Early Human Traces: Landscape Openness Proxies Across Space and Time," with a short article on the identification of charcoal from archaeological sites to detect human-induced vegetation openings 🪵🔥🌳🌴🌿 1/5 pastglobalchanges.org/publications...

This was #ECTE2025 !!! Thanks to all participants for making this an amazing experience 😌 Thanks to Jelle Kraak for taking the photos (@kraakkiekjes)

I read that with a knot in the stomach. I'm just a postdoc, an ECR, but I support scientists at risk, in the US and everywhere.

Full support to all my Federal colleagues in the USA. Signed by Past-President ATBC 2008 and Former President (2018-24) of the Society For Tropical Ecology. Professor Tropical Ecology @mnhn.fr

So let's meet next year in Passau, Germany! (Hopefully I'll have a new position somewhere by this time🤞) Thanks for a great conference here in Amsterdam! 🙌🙌 I liked the pinapple 🍍 handover, that was funny 🤣 #ECTE2025

Alexa Höhn talking about shea parklands in West Africa, and since when their presence is attested! Shout out to charcoal people! 🪵🔥😁 #ECTE2025 SESSION6

Julie Aleman opens the fire session with a talk about fire reconstruction in Tanzania #ECTE2025 🔥 session18

Carina Hoorn talking about Miocene mangroves in the Amazon basin 🤩#ECTE2025 SESSION1

The nice thing about being in a session that is quite different from what you're used to is that you learn a lot of things about stuff you're totally ignorant about! As a charcoal person, I enjoyed the talks on snails transmitting parasites and on fish from the Amazon basin 😁 #ECTE2025 SESSION1

#ECTE2025 The first 2 keynotes by José Iriarte and Nina Witteveen were absolutely great, they were talking about the ecological legacy and the impact past populations had on the vegetation in the Amazon basin and the Guiana Shield (Suriname in particular). 🌾🌿🌴🔥🌽🍌🏺🌎

So happy to be in Amsterdam for the #ECTE2025 !! I will give a talk tomorrow in Session 1 about the palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of the coast of French Guiana during the Late Pleistocene 🌴🌿🌎🌊 be prepared to hear about charcoal, pollen and phytoliths!

Deadline extended to the 31st of January! Please participate !! 🙏

📢📄Check out this identification key by Puech et al. for wood charcoal from South Africa! 🪵🇿🇦 🤌👏 brill.com/view/journal...

📢📄Paper alert! Our database and identification key on woods from the Afromontane forest is out! 🪵⛰ brill.com/view/journal...

Happy #FossilFriday!

Dear archaeobotanists!, On behalf of the initiative “Ethics in Archaeobotany”, I invite you to complete a questionnaire on this topic. 🌾🌱🍇🫒🪵📝 Our objective is to gather first-hand data about ethical issues that arise in our subfield. 1/6

I like when charcoals show very specific anatomical features that make them easy to identify: eg. vessels in tangential bands, very large rays. Here is a Proteaceae, Faurea rochetiana 🤓 #EthiopianWood #Anthracology

I'm gonna share here some of my formers tweets (rip blue bird). It will feed a bit my profile! ⬇️ Sometimes the #parenchyma is so thick that you can see it with the naked eye (Hymenolobium sp. Papilionoideae) #WoodAnatomy 🪵

Atomic mushrooms? Nope, this is the wood (charcoal) anatomy of Neea sp. (Nyctaginaceae) in transverse section. The large 'holes' correspond to the included phloem and the smaller ones below are vessels. #Anthracology #WoodAnatomy #Charcoal

Doggies of Cairo 🐶❤

Yesterday 5yrs ago, I defended my PhD. A lot of things have happened since then... My PhD aimed to better understand the impacts of pre-Columbian occupations on the forest of French Guiana, using anthracology. It gave birth to 3 papers and 1 book chapter:

So I just thought it would be nice if I shared here the link to my PhD thesis and all the related articles I published in open access... 😅 just in case anyone is interested! #archaeology #opendata doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

I'm having a great time in Cairo working on charcoal from the Middle Empire! Currently working at the Institut Français d'Archéologie Orientale but hosted at the German Archaeological Institute. 💖 coming to Egypt was a dream, I feel blessed by Thot/Djehouty Tx to Johanna Sigl, Claire Malleson et al🤗

I've just baked some cinnamon dino cookies 🍪 🦕😋 Sorry Lilu 🐶, this is not good for you!

I thought I would make a starter pack of scientists working on #phytoliths. Please share if this is of interest to you, and do ask if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/8HEDmb9

Let me introduce Lilu, #Vizsla mix, hungarian rescue (association Vizsla in Not 🧡). She's 9 and she's the sweetest. Her presence helped me go through depression after I tragically lost my first rescue dog, Karina from Tiere in Spanien, Ridgeback mix 🐶🕊 #DogsofBlueSky

#HelloESR Je suis paléoécologue tropicaliste, avec une spécialisation en anthracologie (j'identifie des charbons pour reconstruire la paleoveg ligneuse). J'ai aussi bossé sur des charbons sédimentaires (histoire des feux) et des phytolithes. Je suis sur le marché des postdoc! 🪵🔥

I posted this on the toxic app some time ago, my cross-stitched Velociraptor for #FossilFriday!

📣📃 Paper alert!🌾🌿 A systematic review exploring the diversity and food security potential of wild edible plants in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 by D. Tadesse, G. Masresha, E. Lulekal and M. Wondafrash www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📢Paper alert! This paper led by P.-O. Antoine from @isemevol presents an hyperdiverse coastal ecosystem 🌊🦈🐚🐟🌿🌎 from the Late Pleistocene, in French Guiana🇬🇫, where the Europe's Spaceport is located today 🚀https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2311597121

Mon saucisson. Life's not always smooth but my doggy helps me to face shit.

Please help me spread the word: I'm hiring a 3-yr postdoc to work on belowground forest drought ecophysiology. The job will feature fieldwork in some of the largest unmanaged ecosystems in Central Europe and lots of cool science. The full job details are here: www.egu.eu/jobs/5658/

'When in doubt, put it in Flacourtiaceae' that made me smile 😆 Trooical anthracologists be like, 'when in doubt, put it in Rubiaceae' (Joking, put it in type 5,765)

Ce soir, je vous écris avec beaucoup de gravité. La température mondiale de la surface des océans a dépassé le record mondial de chaleur de 2016, alors qu'on est censé être proche du plus froid de l'année. C'est statiquement indescriptible : moins d'une chance sur 8 millions.

Funny game indeed 😁🌿 Here is my list: Plant families I... Dislike: Rubiaceae (because of wood anatomy...) Respect: Leguminosae Think are overrated: Rosaceae Think are underrated: Myrtaceae Like: Araceae Love: Euphorbiaceae #botany

I am DELIGHTED to announce that our paper is out now in open access!! 🤩 we discuss the dynamics of the Afromontane forest in SW Ethiopia since the AHP in the light of anthracology. Hunter-gatherers did had an impact on the forest by using 🔥. 1/3 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Polarized light helps to spot #crystals in #wood slides. Here in Pittosporum abyssinicum (Pittosporaceae) and Schrebera alata (Oleaceae) (samples from Ethiopia). The mastering of wood slicing also helps! Wood slides processed by Jennifer Markwirth. 🪵🪚🔬💠

Paper submitted mid-May. Finally! So happy 😊 🤗🥳
