I'm delighted that the first publication from a National Science Foundation-funded study I led studying the development and implementation of teaching resources on human and non-human evolution in Alabama high school biology classrooms was published a few days ago! (1/2)

Having a lovely time in Comacchio 🇮🇹 so far for the TAPHOS 2025 meeting which started this morning! sites.google.com/unife.it/tap...

Calling all zooarchs at #SAA2025 - our session is starting now!

TFW your former postdoc chairs a session at #SAA2025 - and gives a great talk in the session, too. 🙌🏻 When I asked to take her photo right before the session started, Thaís Pansani @thaispansani.bsky.social joked I was like a proud parent on their kid’s first day of school… guilty as charged. 🤩

Great (pre-recorded) talk just now by @flintdibble.bsky.social at #SAA2025 on how to combat pseudoarchaeology! The room was packed and many of us were standing in the back & outside the doors to listen 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hands down, Kate Fish wins the best slide at the Paleoanthros conference today. 😂☠️

On my way to Denver for the Paleoanthro Society and #SAA2025 conferences! If you’re there through the bitter end (aka Sunday morning 😄), come see my talk at 9:45 am in the “Animal Matters: Ethics in Zooarchaeology from Discovery to Display” symposium about our new Symbiota taphonomy online portal.

Want to know more about the awesome research we published last month that uses cut marked fossil animal bones to push back the date of hominin presence in Europe to around 2 million years ago? Read this just-published piece we wrote in @theconversation.com! theconversation.com/tiny-cut-mar...

On my way to Indiana to give a talk on the paleo diet for the Fifth Annual Wittman Lecture Series at @indianastateuni.bsky.social! indianastate.edu/events/ees/f...

I’m glad the timing worked out for this impromptu tour (thanks @valockwood.bsky.social for reaching out just in case…). I always enjoy showing off our exhibit to colleagues ☺️ Nice to meet you and @charchotte.bsky.social in person!

The empathetic low laughs by anyone who has done fieldwork when @keneiloe.bsky.social said “… where I’m building character” while finishing her introduction of the history of Gladysvale (South Africa), talking about how in 2022 she became the first woman to lead the fieldwork there #AABA2025

Kicking myself right now for not pulling out my phone to take a photo fast enough when the Zoom autocaptions corrected ‘Bernard Wood’ to ‘Burnt Wood’ as he was introduced to start off the “Australopithecus africanus turns 100”symposium at #AABA2025 🤣 (b/c I think he’d laugh at that)

Our annual BAWMN Happy Hour is happening tomorrow @bioanth.org #AABA2025 - please amplify if you're in Baltimore!

Counting down to the Biological Anthropology Women's Mentoring Network's annual happy hour at #aaba2025 in Baltimore. All women/nonbinary bioanthropologists are invited for low-pressure, let-your-hair down networking in a meeting-adjacent safe space. Stories stay, lessons leave! Come check us out!

Job alert! @katerinad.bsky.social and I are looking for an archaeologist/archaeological scientist to join us on a 4 year post-doc, helping to manage and participate in field and lab work on 2 ERC grants in our group. We would love to hear from you via the link! 👇 jobs.univie.ac.at/job/Postdoct...

2025. #DEI - My experience of speaking at a conference with a baby. Hannah Chance spent a day during her parental leave telling a group of postdocs about her science-policy work. Aidan, aged six months, came along too. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Catch me in Delaware tomorrow afternoon!

Hi everyone! The Yearbook of Biological Anthropology is now on BlueSky! Please give the journal a follow: @yearbookbioanth.bsky.social

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Here are some photos of me with just a few of my many female scientist collaborators.

The American Journal of Biological Anthropology (AJBA), the official Journal of the American Association of Biological Anthropologists, published by Wiley, seeks a new Editor-in-Chief. The submission deadline is March 31, 2025. bioanth.org/jobs/editor-...

Attention scientists, engineers, researchers and techy people 📣 I've just released a FREE online course that will help you write quicker and present better using tools from the world of storytelling. Get it here: www.storyology.co.uk/storytelling...

📢 Great opportunity to get a Master level training in all fields of prehistory in an international context. Applications for the International Master "Quaternary and Prehistory" are open until 31 March 2025: quaternaryprehistory.eu/admissions youtu.be/Vhp-4w6AO1k?...

I'm hiring two upper-level undergraduates (or recent graduates) this August for a 3 week long PAID Smithsonian internship in Connecticut. We'll be visiting several archaeological collections to measure quahog clam shells! Please share! Apply here by March 1: internships.si.edu/opportunity/...

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Hello out there scientists. If you're having meetings or grants or anything else impacted by freeze of NSF meetings, please feel free to reach out to me to share your story. Signal: thealexknapp.79 Email: [email protected]

Paid summer internship program at the Penn Museum @pennmuseum.bsky.social! www.penn.museum/learn/penn-s...

Please spread the word as we have opened the call for @britishacademy.bsky.social International Fellowships which enable researchers to work for two years at a UK institution. If you fancy being away from your country right now this could be an option! www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/funding/inte...

Write up of our research in Romania.

Kudos to @taorminalepore.bsky.social and others involved in these science accessibility efforts! apnews.com/article/acce...

Has anyone heard whether their workshop proposal for the #AABA2025 meeting was accepted (or not)? When will we hear either way @bioanth.org?

🚨📢 I am excited to announce the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center will support another paid Zooarchaeology Internship this summer from May 11 to July 18. Application deadline is March 3. More info here: crowcanyon.org/internships/. Feel free to DM with questions! 🏺🧪

What's with the low number of authors allowed on conference abstracts lately? SAA has a limit of 5, and SAfA has a limit of 4. I can't think of a project I work on that has so few collaborators, and omitting people's names who genuinely contributed... stinks. 😢

It me! www.mothersinscience.com/journeys/bri...

Once again, I had great fun putting together this @plos.org SciComm blog post on the top stories in human evolution this year with my colleague Ryan McRae! scicomm.plos.org/2024/12/16/t...

Check out this great opportunity to come work at my awesome museum supporting fellows (predocs, postdocs, etc.)! trustcareers.si.edu/en/postings/...

Do you love #ancientDNA, #Africa, and beautiful beaches? Submit a talk to “The ancient DNA revolution in Africa: New data, broader applications, and evolving research practices” session that I'm co-chairing with at the 2025 SAfA meeting in Portugal!
