Happy halloween and scienceween! My new book is out today!!! 🧪 🏺🏺 www.routledge.com/Thinking-thr...

Got my first two (positive) reviews for "Thinking Through Archaeological Complexity" from Simon Levin and Steve Lansing. Writing a solo-authored book takes courage and I haven't felt this much imposter syndrome since grad school! Thanks Levin and Lansing <3 🧪🏺 www.routledge.com/Thinking-thr...

In her new book, Thinking Through Archaeological Complexity, SFI External Professor Stefani Crabtree (Utah State University) shows how tools from complex systems can help archaeologists understand how everyday actions of ancient people accumulated into the large-scale patterns we excavate today.

An antidote to despair and cynicism -- academics studying countries facing autocratic takeovers document that more than half of these episodes lead to "U-turns" and more than 90% result in strengthened democracies. Up to us to make it so! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

It's official, my first solo-authored book (my second book altogether) is coming out the end of October! 🧪👩🏺 And the thing I'm the proudest is I painted (watercolor) the cover! 1/2 www.routledge.com/Thinking-thr...

I loved his book "Owls of the Eastern Ice" which gave me all the feels about my work doing archaeology in Mongolia. Did @jonathanslaght.com know my favorite animal is a tiger? Probably not, but I'm gonna pretend he did and he wrote this book for me. :)

Hey 🏺🧪! My solo-authored book has a landing page! Thinking Through Archaeological Complexity will introduce complex adaptive systems science and archaeology to broad audiences. I'm currently PAINTING the cover (with watercolors!). Buy the paperback not hardcover! www.routledge.com/Thinking-thr...

All y'all who are porting your tweets from the Old Place over... I kinda love starting over. Like when I graduated from WSU and had to have my email just disappear... time for a fresh slate... who will BSKY Stefani *be*

What are the coolest current methods in Social Science? I did a lecture and activity on topic modeling yesterday and my students *loved* it. Agent-based modeling and network analysis coming up, but would love to know your thoughts! Science and Archaeology Bsky Pipe Up! 🧪 🏺!

Welp, I finally deactivated my profile on the Other Site. Hello bluesky, you're it now. Please become a better place for interacting with my fellow scientists.

This. This is me.

Now that Bluesky has GIFs it is officially more useful than The Place Formerly Known as Twitter. I can resume my way of naturally communicating--with muppets!

Journal fees for open access are becoming obscene. But what are we, scientists, paying for? I made a simple plot with journals in my research area(s). Clearly, we are paying for prestige: a shockingly clean correlation between the impact factor and journal fees

SOUND THE JOB KLAXON! My department at the **MOAB** Campus is hiring! Recreation resource management and nature based tourism! Environment and Society is a great department, Moab is beautiful, and we are truly interdisciplinary. Join us! Due Dec 8! careers-usu.icims.com/jobs/7083/as...

IPCC scenarios are projections, not predictions. "The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves." We get to decide what the world will look like in 2100. gmd.copernicus.org/articles/13/...

So proud to be external faculty at @sfiscience.bsky.social a "playground for geniuses". www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gjZ...

Had a lovely few day workshop at SFI on collective adaptation. Highlights included birding with @carlbergstrom.com, bringin my Ph.D. student Stan Rhodes and watching him *shine*, and doing great science. I even told folks to Heliotown, our own private Meow Wolf like space.

Welcome to @katietherockdoc.bsky.social, who just joined Bluesky! Katie is a scientist who has worked on the House Natural Resource Committee, now Deputy Director at Blue Green Alliance, and her profile pic is her testifying before congress. She's a badass scientist who works on Policy! Follow! 🧪

🧪 I got interviewed by a journalist at New Scientist during finals week and completely forgot about it, because <finals week>. Apparently I didn't sound like a complete idiot. https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg25834450-800-the-civilisation-myth-how-new-discoveries-are-rewriting-human-history/

Timeline cleanse. A beautiful mulga in Australia a few years back.

New publication day, and first time being anchor author! Published in Phil Trans B, where Isaac Newton was published! https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rstb.2022.0297

Grant writing: how can it bring so much hope and so much despair simultaneously? 🧪

Reskeet if you hope you see a cool bird tomorrow

Hey Sci-Bluesky! 🧪 I hear it's Crab Day *and* it's my birthday, so please tell me, Dr. 🦀🌲, your favorite crab fact! I'm an archaeologist, so here's one. Neanderthals feasted on crabs 90kya and we can even speciate the char remains! https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fearc.2023.1097815/full

Nice new visualization of lake coring from WaPo. 🧪 Gives a good idea of what paleoecologists and archaeoecologists do to understand past climate. I wanna go hug this lake. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/interactive/2023/anthropocene-geologic-time-crawford-lake/

Hey hey bluesky, nice to be here, invited on my birthday no less!
