Nobel Prize given for showing the importance of investing in science for innovation and long-term economic growth. Basically the opposite of what the US is doing. 😭

Women, non-native English speakers & those form low-income countries are disadvantaged in science but by how much? We found that women with non-English first languages from low-income countries publish up to 70% fewer in English than their counterparts. 1/5

🏺I spent a considerable time of my career feeling that I am trying to extract "sunbeams out of cucumbers". @benmarwick.bsky.social describes how to improve our current #publishing practice to avoid such feelings when extracting archaeological #data from publications.

The 8.2 ka cold event was the most prominent climatic cold snap in northern Europe during the Holocene. It was a consequence of the rapid Early Holocene warming and came in the wake of ice sheet melting.

A thread about our new paper and a link to the OA publication at the end of the thread 😊 1/8

Sad to hear that the #Fulbright programme (among others) has been suspended by the Trump administration. I am a Fulbright alumnus myself (2017/2018) and it changed my life. This world needs international exchange and study-abroad programmes for scholars! www.washingtonpost.com/education/2025/03/11/fulbright-study-abroad-funding-freeze-state-department/
