I escaped poverty because I am a scientist. And I am a scientist because of the National Science Foundation. A 🧵:

New research on Neolithic water strategies in the Near East! We analyzed oxygen isotopes and trace elements in teeth enamel from Neolithic sites in Iran & Iraq. Read the preprint of our paper, under review at J. Archaeological Science: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... #archaeology #Neolithic

To be clear, VP Vance has said "the professors are the enemies" and "we have to honestly and aggressively attack the universities in this country." Direct line from that to shutting down NIH and NSF panels - the GOP is happy to end cancer research if it means "owning the libs" 🧪

Today's #Laboratory ⚒️🧪 Adventure was convincing an automated sampling table to do dozens of repeat measurements of chemical composition in several reference materials. A great way to calculate analytical uncertainty and certainly *way* better than doing it manually. 🤖

New method for measuring nitrogen isotopes in tooth dentine at high temporal resolution. We demonstrate that developmentally informed SIMS measurements of N isotopes minimize time averaging and can be precisely related to an individual's early dietary history! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
