Giant freekin bears!!!
A reminder that captive births are very far from risk free in elephants. You cannot do a c-section if e.g. development or delivery goes wrong (=death to mum for sure).
Honestly, this would not pass an ethics committee in the UK, I am sure.
I hope this is just more of the usual nonsense
How do we lose the history of women in academia? Well, start by losing their citations to better networked groups…
This makes me think of the citation analyses of ‘who gets taught’ in archaeology that Colleen Morgan at York did (and I tried elsewhere)

Photo of a large late 18th century house painted pink. It has decorative Coade stone detailing including urns on the roof. It's in a garden with tree, in which behind the house is a 19th century observation tower painted yellow with a slate roof.
Photo of interior of sitting room, a fireplace with fire burning in raised grate, above which is a decorative Coade stone mantel, with candlesticks on it, and a large oval mirror above. In front of the fire is a coffee table with a tea set on it.
Photo of the sitting room, with three women, two in armchairs by fire and one standing in front of a large wooden bookcase. The room is decorated in Regency style with paintings.
Photo from outside front of house, zoomed in looking past the decorative gates down towards Lyme bay, the sea is visible and beyond that large cliffs and hills. It's cloudy and misty.
We're down on the Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis for a week of @trowelblazers.bsky.social work inc planning new writing project on #MaryAnning, and some epic fossiling - staying at the stunning late 18th-early 19th century Belmont House thanks to Landmark Trust Futures grant

None of the directions my career takes me are directions you would reasonably expect 😂
Pretty sure I’m in this, hopefully snarking about Brits and their damn hazelnuts
The article grew out of a sense of unease we had while reading debates over decolonisation in archaeology, especially about where the conversation is being shaped. I’m really glad to finally see it out in the world.
🧵 I highlight in this thread some of our core arguments.
Film poster showing a person standing in a dark space-suit looking outfit, on a metal ramp, in front of them is a grassy meadow, forest and mountains. Text over the image says "Official Selection 2026 Sundance Film Festival".
Film poster showing three overlapping images: one is a person in space-suit outfit looking at meadow and mountain, the one below that is two pale-skinned people kissing, and the one below that is a pale skinned woman with long dark hair looking down at an infant.

I'm a writer, but I also ♥️ creative collaborations, and do a lot of consultancy.
This film #InTheBlinkOfAnEye, which I advised on a while ago, is finally coming out and has a showing at Sundance: a connections-through-time story which includes #Neanderthals...
Out Hulu next month then Disney+
One ref it 'cites' for this (actually a paper written by us!) says re: our outreach that we've "spoken to wide audiences as diverse as the Skeptics in the Pub and the UK Womens Institute"...
I guess this confused it because – say it all together – gen-AI is NOT ACTUALLY INTELLIGENT 🙄
