I plan to selectively dip into and reread sections this weekend. Seems apropos for the occasion. #BookSky #astronomy 🧪 #history

Our newest article on the application of #geophysics and #geochemistry to investigating past human behavior, particularly some details of ritual that don't leave palpable traces for #archaeology to collect and #curate. 🧪 1/12

Fresh greens from the #gesundheitgarden

We're thrilled to present the shortlist for the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction:

Home and checking on my #gesundheitgarden Find the bunny.

Major signal boost here. Please share and comment. I won't fedpost about the ghoul Russ Vought but I also won't deny sending good vibes to those witches who got... never mind.

Modoc Nation Ranch tour with the field crew! #CommunityEngagedResearch gives the coolest field trips.

With all the memes and news about the Reflecting Swamp, I am surprised there isn't a meme theme of "Failure Flakes" for the paint chips people are being arrested for collecting.

Or fully charged cat battery.

The Met put its entire collection online for free so I made a game out of it! 10 artifacts a day, and you guess where and when each one's from. Anthropeum.com if anyone wants to give it a shot and leave feedback :) #history #archeology #arthistory #museums

Anyone else see a fireball meteor over Wyandotte, OK, or just me? #fireball #meteor #astronomy

I have 2 very new articles on Hopewell #archaeology just in print in American Antiquity and Midcontinental Journal of Archaeology, including this which got the cover image. #publication #publicationday #science #geophysics

Managed to walk to dinner, eat an almost normal dinner, walk back, rest, walk another 10+ minutes. About a 1000% decrease in pain and nausea, not elimination, but progress and 1000% more activity than yesterday. #newmath #ChronicPain

Um... nope.... nope nope

So I clung to the side of the van in near agony for about 4 hours while crews went on with survey. I slept about 15 hours last night, and feel moderately better, but have thrown out all plans of doing anything active at all today. #NDPH #ChronicIllness #ChronicPain #MedicalMystery

Being a medical mystery ain as exciting as it sounds. Yesterday, 4 of my persistent problems decided to all be very loud at the same time. In the middle of a fieldwork day that I could not leave (barring true emergency). #NDPH #PinchedNerve #ChronicPain

Traffic was heavy on the way to the field site. #archaeology #cowsky #moo

Today was a roller-coaster day. Started w/ a farmer not happy about letting us through their field, a delayed start out to said field, a GPS malfunction, a GIS error (possibly user error, but unclear), switching to manual grid layout. Very slow start. #archaeology #geophysics #LearnWorkDiscover 1/5

New in PN: The assault on higher ed goes deeper than you think "This is bigger than budget cuts. It’s not just a continuation of things like longtime GOP efforts to cut Pell Grants. It’s a wide-ranging assault designed to drastically limit access to higher ed for all but the rich & well-connected."

Oof, I am feeling this lately. Especially as I've added gastrointestinal distress to my suite of symptoms. At least that is likely something that can be fixed, once effectively diagnosed. #ChronicIllness #ChronicPain #NDPH

This was one of my fav podcast convos about this book: “In a lot of ways things are feeling bleak for a lot of people—economically, socially, ecologically, politically—and I wanted to say to people that thinking about the cosmos can be part of how we write and imagine ourselves out of all of that.”

Stable ecology jobs are few and far between at the moment, but the team I'm on is actually hiring! Come coordinate the third Ohio Bird Atlas! This'll be a 5+ year role, based at Ohio State. Bachelor's degree required (Master's preferred). Please share! osu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/OSUCareers/j...

Good morning and Happy #caturday

#gesundheitgarden 7.0 is all set and ready to grow. Reopened a section from 1.0 and 2.0, and one from 6.0, plus a brand new bed on the opposite (south) end of the yard.

Who has 2 thumbs, a fabulously extra mustache, and just learned that they will likely have 5 publications (4 articles, 1 chapter) in 2026? A tie with 2024 and 2018 for my 2nd most prolific year. #academia #research #publication

Stage 2 of #spring transition complete.

Stage 1 of #spring transformation complete. Thanks to @stevenknipphairstudio for a quick and easy appointment.

now thats an anecdote with a punch, from Gillian Tett www.ft.com/content/c0ae...

This looks like a great article. No road map to community relationships. Or as I say, I don't know how to do it, but I have learned lots of ways not to. #archaeology #CommunityEngagedResearch 🧪

Jasper is manifesting how I feel right now. It's been a rough couple days headache wise, stack on 2 12-hr travel days and miles of walking up San Francisco hills, I'm drained. So much to catch up on, but body ain't havin' it right now. #NDPH #ChronicPain #ConferenceHangover

Arrived safely, but with a massive headache. May not make the meeting today unless I can reset. #NDPH

Waiting at my gate, heading to the SAA #archaeology (not the other SAA) in San Fran.

Had a little house invader. Stepped into garage & felt squishy blob. Yanked my foot up, saw this guy. Luckily Jasper & Wynn (cats) were otherwise occupied, so I had time to get a jar and escorted him to the pond that is our backyard right now. Wonder if the same guy I saw on the gutter last night.

Anyone going to the SAAs & interested in the Airlie House 2.0 Task Force's doings and plannings, &, most importantly, how you can be involved in shaping the next 50 years of archaeological success, visit us Thursday evening 5:30-7:00, session 134. #archaeology #conference #meetings #SanFrancisco

Fun to get review request from major journal who refused to publish all my work on the subject of the article to be reviewed with "I note that you have published in this general topic or geographic area". It is not in my geographic specialty. It is all those rejected articles published elsewhere.

At the end of 2024, the National Academies put out a report concluding the NIH has woefully underfunded women’s health research, and they suggested $15 B should be invested over the next 5 years. Here’s what’s happened instead. Hard to study women’s health if you can’t say “women.” wapo.st/4euUt1c

Super excited to have both of these books by @chanda.blacksky.app in my hands! I've listened to both and re-listened, and they are both wonderful, engaging, raw and vulnerable expressions of human curiosity and knowledge making. Right now Space-Time is my favorite. #BookSky #astronomy 1/3

I was so annoyed about wrong information on the internet that I decided to make a video about how non-trinary neutrinos move and what quantum tunneling is. Andy Weir may be more bestselling than me but I'm more expert lol 🧪⚛️ Buy my book to learn more! 💙📚 www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/746817...

As soon as today, the US Senate will vote on a House resolution that allows copper mining by a Chilean company near Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The Boundary Waters is the most-visited wilderness area in the country, and it cannot be replaced.

Come see how we've been doing #LearnWorkDiscover at AAL with #HistoricPreservationFund support through the Indiana DNR Division of Historic Preservation & Archaeology! #Archaeology #ChertChert #historymatters www.facebook.com/share/176uus...

Double #PublicationDay for AAL staff and #studentemployees! The latest Indiana Archaeology has 2 articles about #HistoricPreservationFund projects at Chain O' Lakes SP & Limberlost Swamp NP conducting identification surveys. #archaeology #LearnWorkDiscover 1/5

And millions of red state women suddenly realize the value of scientific funding by the government, NASA flooded with astronaut applications... (my take is satire)

Our new adopted kitties, Jasper and Winifred, seem to like it here. Winifred is still a little hesitant about her new older brother, but she's passed by him twice now without hissing. #adoptedpets #cats #catsky

I'm on the Airlie House 2.0 SAA Task Force. We had a workshop just over a week ago to develop action plans around the Task Force identified priorities for the future of #archaeology & #CRMArch. One of our partner orgs wrote about take aways & calls to action. Thanks John! There's lots of work to do!

#publicationday AAL Director Dr. Nolan, Josh Donaldson (MA 2016), & Dr. Robert Riordan have a new pre-press article available in MCJA. They shed new light on the details of activity at the Fort Ancient Earthworks around the Moorehead Circle. #archaeology #Geoarchaeology #soils #geophysics

First time n the Monon trail with #cycling

There is a lot of talk about how the SAVE act would disenfranchise voters of color. Here is what it could mean for Native voters:
