My family now looks forward #caturday each week, as our household has dramatically expanded its cuteness and love.

With the research station closures, someone can explain how the public will enjoy increased benefits from having science collaboration in the forests/soils of Lake Superior’s Northwoods be relocated to an office in Salt Lake City’s Great Basin desert? As we figure best practice to manage resources?

My colleague Professor Emerita Alison K Hoagland was on NPR this morning, talking about the White House ballroom. She is a board member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Her insights are really important… one.npr.org/i/nx-s1-5770...

Colleagues, I’m an archaeologist again teaching my #BiologicalAnthropology intro class- what are some recent beloved and admired studies I can use to introduce applied bioanth to undergrads? In #MedicalAnthropology, #MolecularAnthro, #biomechanics, #HumanDiversity? @bioanth.bsky.social colleagues?

As a reminder, the only thing that Frodo Baggins did as deputy mayor of the Shire was to “reduce the Shirriffs to their proper functions and numbers.”

This fair started for #archaeology and #gis #geospatial, as well as #ArchtecturalHistory, and is growing to include #planning, #ethnography, #survey, and all #preservation and #heritage allied fields!

Save The Date for the 2026 #CulturalResources #CareerFair. For #Heritage and #Preservation #Archaeology and allied fields!

"There's very good evidence of railroad operations here on the old railroad bed. No evidence of an impact." A coauthor of the first YDIH paper (Firestone et al , 2007) reveals that his senior coauthors knew all along that their prime "evidence" was railroad slag. www.facebook.com/reel/1162558...

Andrew White has interviewed two Michigan Technological University alumni about #pseudoscience narratives and #Michigan Keweenaw #CopperCountry. Just published a conversation with Donovan Murphy and previously Joe Wilson. Both are worth an hour of time for a listen… www.youtube.com/@AndrewWhite33

#NoKings in Houghton and Hancock #Michigan Upper Peninsula. Abt 850 people marched, more than 5% of the population of this rural, small town in the ruby red north.

I see what you did there #FTC and #RTX…. Good job with the #Decode competition about #robotics and #archaeology- you avoided #treasure, #tombs, and grave-robbing tropes. The competition requires the teams to pay attention to the relationships between artifacts, not just collecting things. Well done!

I had a lot of interesting conversations at this event and learned a great deal about the challenges of abandoned coal mines. Hopefully we will have many follow up conversations…. www.standard-journal.com/news/local/a... #AML #AMD #climateheritage #EnergyJustice #PUSH #UPSH #Hydro

Day two of commencement ritual at @michigantech.bsky.social I think there should be a live stream showing mortar board decoration and shoe/socks. #mtuhuskies

We hit the moment in the semester when student research teams get their first data…. And #plots. And there is much rejoicing. youtu.be/TDmgQ65BjwU?... #archaeology #archsci #archaeologicalscience

Including the wrong recipient is a mistake. Using a non-government platform for classified information is a crime.

We now have 50 schools and 22 employers, with more requests coming in! This will be event that exceeds my wildest hopes for a little experiment. We put this together in three weeks, amid professional chaos. I’m stunned. #archaeology #historicpreservation #heritage #history #culturalresources #CRM

A recent study found that cervical cancer deaths in young women have plummeted since the introduction of the human papillomavirus vaccine.

There is still time for employers to join this event- almost 50 schools bringing their grads and recent alumni. Hire for a specific job or network in different areas of #culturalresources, #preservation, and #heritage!

Amazing! *33* different colleges and universities participating! Employers-- join now! Network with expectant grads and early career professionals. It is free and in a virtual space where you can meet students and grads from across the country! #history #archaeology #anthropology #GIS #planning

We have 31 different universities and colleges participating in the 2025 Cultural Resources Management Career Fair! Are you a professional working in #CRM, #Heritage, or #Preservation services? Join us to network with hundreds of expectant grads and recent alumni from all over the USA!

The $1bn annual CRM world relies entirely upon networking for students and new grads to get their foot in the door. This is a serious disadvantage to those that graduate from small programs or in regions that are removed from active CRM fieldwork.

I am very pleased to share that Michigan Technological University is hosting a virtual career fair for job seekers in Cultural Resources Management ( #CRM ) and allied fields in the heritage sector! 1/x mtu.joinhandshake.com/stu/career_f...

A spectacular bronze head of a griffin went missing from a Greek museum and ended up in the Metropolitan Museum, which is now returning it after research showed it was stolen. Great, you'd think... unless you know this research was done 87 YEARS AGO. 🧵 from your local provenance grump.

NEW Analysis of dried plants from a colonial institution in 19th century Australia reveals many foods that do not appear in official records were being eaten, potentially as an informal means to resist the monotony of life in the institution. A tasty #AntiquityThread 1/15 🧵

Across the country, people are starting meal preparations and traveling to be with friends and family. Tell us your favorite dish on the Thanksgiving table, and we’ll share our knowledge about the work behind the ingredients. #WeFeedYou

I compiled a list of companies and projects working on #Underground solutions to #Energystorage supporting the #Energytransition. Repurposing abandoned mines for long duration energy storage (#LDES) for grids, while saving #Greenfield forest and farmland. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Today, in a sudden insight during class discussions, I asked my Intro to #BiologicalAnthropology class to find a professional #bioanth who is also a content creator on social media (or similar pro in #forensics, #bioarch, #medicalanthropology, #primatology, #humanbiology, #genetics #microbiology)

Of several major projects, I'm at the Keweenaw Energy Transitions Lab (#KETL) at Michigan Tech, where I'm trying to use archaeology and heritage practice as participatory design for adaptive reuse of historic mines as closed-loop, underground pumped hydropower storage assets. www.ketl.info
