Head on over to our project website to read all about the recent conference and data collection trip which had me zigzagging across northwestern Europe via train all the way from Copenhagen to Exeter! #researchupdate #archaeology #datacollection sites.google.com/palaeome.org...

THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY Please read this entire excellent piece by Caroline, which points out that a judge ordered the Feds (again) to stop doing **this exact kind of thing** and they are still continuing to do it all over Chicago

A very good Watson obit here, written, though obviously not published, years before he died.

In the spirit of sharing more research updates (and posting more in general), I realized I forgot to mention a pretty big life/research change-- I've moved Down South 🫨 #archaeology #researchupdate #lifeupdate

Very excited to share that I've been given a ECR Spotlight in Volume 34 of the @oceanspast.bsky.social Quarterly Newsletter to discuss my "Beyond Stockfish" project and research journey (so far 😊!) bsky.app/profile/ocea...

If you wondered what using denatured trypsin in your collagen (ZooMS) samples looks like, here you go. Dark teal blue on the left (an Atlantic salmon-- Salmo salar) is a normal mass spectrum, olive green on the is the same sample, but showing an incredibly noisy spectrum. #proteomics #archaeology

not me forgetting that BlueSky doesn't support uploaded gifs 😅

Back in the ZooMS saddle...

The reality in the UK right is now the ideology of trans eradication is being given more legal protections than the reality of being trans. And if you can't see that with everything that's going on, then you are part of the problem. Do better, listen to trans people, fight back against the bigots.

Not to brag, but this is the view from my hotel room...

I returned to my conference live-posting roots today for a session here in Stellenbsoch. Really amazing presentations on the development of a supervision seminar series, fostering communities of practice, and incorporating Indigenous Knowledge modes and relationality into PhD supervision.

It's Day 1 of the Postgraduate Supervision Conference here in beautiful Stellenbosch! We're excited to check out some papers on RSVP core topics like supervisor development and practice. If you spot me (Liz, RSVP postdoc) throughout the day, feel free to come up and say hello! #PSCStellenbosch2025

RSVP is heading to Stellenbosch for the 9th Biennial Conference on Research into Postgraduate Supervision! Our Postdoctoral Research Associate @archaeoliz.bsky.social will be taking over to post on LinkedIn, as well as here on Bluesky, during next week's conference from 26 to 28 March 2025. (1/3)

Keep your eye's peeled on the RSVP account next week-- I'll be reporting in from a pretty exciting place 🐧🌺🌍

Mahmoud Khalil was inside his university-owned apartment Saturday night when several Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entered and took him into custody.

We have published a new Open Research in Practice case study by @archaeoliz.bsky.social which describes FAIR and open practices in archaeological research, tracking the decline of salmon in the North Sea basin 🐟

My current postdoctoral work with the Next Generation RSVP project has centred around research supervision development and I'm really excited to share a first taster of some of our findings from the 2024 UKRSS, as well as focus groups with supervisors across England. wonkhe.com/blogs/resear...

I got an email yesterday responding to an archive request I made from an Ivy League university library about several photos in their collection, as well as an an automated follow-up email asking for feedback on the service I received. I submitted the request on October 10, 2020 🫠

Everyone who works in anything library or information related has been bombarded with stuff about how AI is a game changer. I work in digital accessibility and am unconvinced - here is a thing I wrote about it for work: blogs.york.ac.uk/digital-acce...

Walked across a stage with a life sized plush toy salmon yesterday-- what did you get up to?

#Science 🧪 looks all shipshape and shiny but for those - like me - who are trying to make it through the pityless meanders of #academia, it's an endless run from grant to grant, temporary jobs and relocations in the hope of a permanent position...people should see this side too! #FairAcademia

Inspired by a friend's discussion about wanting to do more on their heritage-associated hobby this year, I really want to get back into posting more archaeological content on social media in 2025. (1/9)

I recently started re-watching Lost and man, these first two seasons really are just GREAT television. It's especially fun to watch with my housemate who has never seen it before.

obligatory working on the weekend sweet treat

I'm hoping my new influx of followers isn't expecting much in the way of archaeology right now-- currently my academic work is focused on research supervision development and pedagogy, which unfortunately makes for less exciting content 😅

I don't even mind that I'm in the house working on a report on a Saturday night because I walked through York at 3:30 this afternoon and I was ready to launch myself into space. Apparently all the council and private car parks are full and they've started letting people park on the Knavesmire 🙃

Working on a primarily qualitative postdoc has made me learn many new things about myself. Like the fact that I simply cannot stand NVivo, and wish its inventors nothing but the most inconvenient life.

I know I've truly made salmon/fish knowledge my brand now because the quizmaster at my local regularly adds fish related questions just to try and trip me up.

Gonna make a concerted effort to actually post here more, but I can't make any promises 😅

Don't mind me, just emerging from the ether to share that I passed my viva with minor corrections yesterday.

lol just submitted 75,817 words about old fish, how's your Friday going?

me, to any editor

My advent calendar this year is counting down the days to PhD submission. 25 days, starting today-- one tiny 15 minute breakdown a day, as a treat.

This is how I know I've been watching too much Grey's Anatomy because I burnt the bottom of my grilled cheese I literally was like "fuck no I'm not losing another one" and surgically removed the burned bread like I was excising a tumor.

If anyone was wondering how to improve their personal best for a 6x6 grid of 2048-- might I suggest being in the final stages of a PhD and reaching never before seen depths of procrastination.

While I've been finishing my PhD (draft done, edits in progress, submission god only knows when 🙃) I've been doing dog sitting and this is just a selection of the silly creatures I get to hang out with on a regular basis. Bill, Leonard, Lacie and Walter 😍

I've been so out of the habit of making text-based posts because tw*tter has been so unusable for so long and ive mostly been on instagram, but I'll definitely try to make an effort to get back into it

I finally got an invite code now I'm unstoppable
