So curious to see how this lawsuit against major academic publishers works out. It hinges on the broader societal impacts of peer review being an unpaid gig. Do you think science would be better if we were paid for reviewing articles? I'm unconvinced highereddive.com/news/6-major-a…

Does luck influence your risk of death, and if so, what might that mean for studies of ancient health? To find out, join us for our next seminar @ 1pm 18/10 AEDT, where Bronwyn Wyatt (ANU) will present her research exploring the complexity of mortality in past peoples!

A new method of adult age estimation from the brilliant Jisun Jang - all you need is a laser scanner and R! If anyone gives it a go I'd love to hear how you get on sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🥳 I just got an @NSF #nsfsprf postdoc grant (third time lucky)!! Very excited to finally be able to move forward with a project that I think will be huge for the future of bioarchaeology, and to be working with the incomparable @SharonDeWitte - good things to come! 👻🧐🧡

Does polygyny inevitably lock many man out of the marriage market? It's a widespread belief that "if one man marries 2 wives, another must go without a wife". But it's wrong. Our preprint shows the importance of demography to understanding marriage markets & their consequences👇

"Paleopathology has a critical—and unmet—need for community spaces dedicated to testing and improving observer concordance." Our field relies on the expert judgement of individual osteologists -- But do 4 out of 5 osteologists agree on what they see? sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Big congratulations to @AnthroLiz, the newly minted Dr. Agey!!! I love my graduate cohort to the moon. It's been such a joy to watch my academic sisters grow as scientists and as people over the better part of the last decade.

This article resurfaces in my feed periodically. The first time I read it, I felt like a fish learning that they've been IN this water thing they've heard about, all along. Buried memories and unexamined norms burned bright. getpocket.com/explore/item/t…
