This just dropped! Little did I suspect the full significance of the peculiar little #Mesolithic #moose #antler #axe that I found in the Historical Museum at Lund University's collection, or that I would find two more, for that matter! Enjoy! www.mdpi.com/2571-9408/9/...

The news just reached me that Dr Rena Maguire has passed away, leaving me shocked and saddened. She was so enthusiastic about science, horses, and equitation, interests we shared. My thoughts are with her family and close friends. So terribly tragic.

After a wonderful week of respite, going to a scientific conference, only having to consider myself, I am now back in reality, with work, my PhD project, and around-the-clock care of my child with type 1 #diabetes and #autistic #burnout. One seldom has the time/distance to reflect on one's situation
