Nobel Prize given for showing the importance of investing in science for innovation and long-term economic growth. Basically the opposite of what the US is doing. 😭

I cannot escape archaeology even on a Saturday hike.

Women, non-native English speakers & those form low-income countries are disadvantaged in science but by how much? We found that women with non-English first languages from low-income countries publish up to 70% fewer in English than their counterparts. 1/5 doi.org/10.1371/jour... #languagebarriers

Are you at the beginning of your career and interested in environmental history? This is the best way to get involved 👇

🏺I spent a considerable time of my career feeling that I am trying to extract "sunbeams out of cucumbers". @benmarwick.bsky.social describes how to improve our current #publishing practice to avoid such feelings when extracting archaeological #data from publications.

The 8.2 ka cold event was the most prominent climatic cold snap in northern Europe during the Holocene. It was a consequence of the rapid Early Holocene warming and came in the wake of ice sheet melting. A thread about our new paper and a link to the OA publication at the end of the thread 😊 1/8

This looks amazing! A lot to read now.

Finally!

Sad to hear that the #Fulbright programme (among others) has been suspended by the Trump administration. I am a Fulbright alumnus myself (2017/2018) and it changed my life. This world needs international exchange and study-abroad programmes for scholars! www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

We raked through thousands of publications to gather scientific data on human past from archaeological contexts. Sometimes we get very sad and frustrated that the way how archaeologists publish prevents all the others from using their data. We need to change this! www.degruyter.com/document/doi...
