More than 2,000 Canadians were wounded. These 158 didn't make it home. And now this guy is giving lectures on gratitude.

Watch the clip, link to open access paper is below. 1/5 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- Reposted by Jay Stock 🇨🇦🇬🇧📚 A decade on from my last job in academia, my current career is only possible because 1000s of people had faith in the power of human literature as a means to illuminate, connect, enchant. Big AI companies stealing our work threatens that. #DoTheWriteThing #MetaBookThieves

[Not loaded yet] - A good amount of my work has also been stolen by Meta to fuel their AI development and democracy crushing disinformation micro-targetting platforms.

Please watch it and share it wherever you live, but especially if you’re in the United States. You need to know what Trump is doing, and why. youtu.be/wz_42pckM7w

- @nature.com says "Let me chatGPT Archaeology for you"... www.nature.com/research-int... Compare the quality of that to Wikipedia, which we once told students to avoid because it was terrible. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeo... This use of AI definitely seems like it's worth burning the planet for 🤪
- I love a paper with killer figures, this arrived just in time to update my slides for today's teaching on the evolution of the human brain 😃 www.nature.com/articles/s42...
- Ooo.... This PhD looks really interesting. One of the great joys of being an academic moving into the latter part of their career is seeing new research coming out that is more theoretically and methodologically nuanced/advanced than what's come before. 😀👍 www.proquest.com/docview/3154...

- We've always known people don't report dietary intake accurately in surveys. Now we can correct for that (if you've got the research budget for doubly labelled water and isotopic analyses). Neat! 😀 www.nature.com/articles/s43...
- This is a really cool paper and an excellent demonstration that early life stress has a different magnitude if influence of different limb bones, and most significantly the distal segment of the lower limb. Great stuff! 👍

- I recently stepped down as an AE at a Springer:Nature journal for reasons similar to o the JHE board (where I also once served). Time to stop allowing ourselves to be exploited for corporate profit. We can do everything without them.

- A very interesting paper on a burial from Grotte des Pigeons, Morocco. It adds to what is now a pretty staggering range of evidence for diversity in mortuary behaviour and burial inclusions in the Epipalaeolithic of the Mediterranean basin. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
