Also, @trowelblazers.bsky.social, are you able to amplify this call for aid?? @skypeascientist.bsky.social is the best!

@500womensci.bsky.social @trowelblazers.bsky.social @ad-of-aaa.bsky.social can anyone help out? Skype a Scientist is super cool!

If you’re in the Preston area and fancy talking palaeo-parenting or primate placenta, well aren’t you in luck ;) come to this totally free talk at the University of Lancashire, kick off at 17:40 on October 8th www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/growing-up...

So gdm angry about this. And not just a little scared. They have new ways to silence scientists now

Was really nice to speak to people who have done so much for representation in archaeology. Out soon! www.archaeopress.com/Archaeopress... 20% discount code 006120

Happy #PublicationDay to @gregjenner.bsky.social @rikinparekh.bsky.social and… me! This has been the most fun I have ever had writing a book, hands down — exactly the way archaeology ought to be ;) (otherwise I’d get a real job, wouldn’t I) www.walker.co.uk/978152952249...

Due to a non-serious yet unignorable Health Thing, I'm unable to go to Musée d'Archéologie Nationale in Paris this week for our first #ExcavatingGarrod 🗃️ archive trip. Amidst 😭 at missing out, I'll hopefully also share tidbits on what @toriherridge.bsky.social & Emma Pomeroy find there!

Early doors for me today as I whizz off to Paris on the Eurostar in search of treasures hidden in the archive of Dorothy Garrod. Garrod was a major hub in the networks of women archaeologists who pioneered the palaeolithic (and beyond), and I cannot wait to see what we will find #ExcavatingGarrod

In honour of #ExcavatingGarrod I’m resurrecting a @trowelblazers.bsky.social post from 2014 and asking you all: What’s Your Garrod Number? If we are being strict mine is actually 5: Garrod>Bate>Mary Leakey>Maeve Leakey>Eleanor Weston>me! Networks matter! trowelblazers.com/2014/05/09/d...

I am wondering if I can get this shorter—paging my fave trowelblazing collaborators who may be even closer to DG @gevemac.bsky.social @elliescerri.bsky.social @neaarlab.bsky.social

If I'd been able to go (😭), Tori, Emma & I would be channeling this exact #trowelblazers vibe right now: L - Germaine Henri-Martin, R - Dorothy Garrod, C - Suzanne de Saint-Mathurin (from whose archive this photo comes, & within which Garrod's archive was found, only in the 1990s!) #ExcavatingGarrod

It’s also our birthday, probably our 12th? Which I am planning on celebrating by checking the guilt inducing unread email stack … in a week or two 😅🤘

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

@brennawalks.bsky.social killing it at #SAA2025Denver

I am loving being in this session and hearing the detailed experiences of women in archaeology — there is so much effort that goes into this kind of research. Leight presenting the life of Bettye Broyles first #saa2025denver #saa2025

We (@brennawalks) are here in Denver at #SAA2025! Going to be talking Friday am about why we are still here talking how in the year of our lord 2025 women are still such a surprise in archaeology. Come along and enjoy the toasty glow from the bonfire of DEI 🤨✊
