🔥Before farming, hunter-gatherers already transformed nearly half of Europe’s #landscapes via burning and hunting! Our new study using an #AI approach shows #Neanderthals began reshaping ecosystems; later foragers continued this process 👉 journals.plos.org/plosone/arti... #Paleoecology #Anthropocene

I know there is some anxiety around how to protect yourself in light of Muskrat and his herd of shitler youth getting their hands on all our personal information so here are the steps you can take to protect yourself.

Here’s an interesting and important study on how fact-checking social media can lead to accusations of bias against right wing discourse - but it’s actually because that discourse is more likely to contain misinformation to start with. Paging @sheencr.bsky.social

Reviewers for #NIH #grants, stop reviewing.

Best grant writing advice I ever received: "Write your proposal as if someone from a completely different field will search through it looking for 100 banned words"

‪ Some important statistics and information for those thinking about submitting to the PaleoAnthropology journal. PaleoAnthropology has a >20 year-history as a community owned, diamond open access, peer-reviewed journal. No fees, no subscription. We look forward to your papers!

Diamond open access model means that publication in scientific journal is free for both readers and authors. No APCs = equal publishing, but also no profit = need for external funding. There are relatively few diamond OA journals, and some of them (including GHSP) were funded by USAID.

Hey, that's my article, cool!
