Justus Erus Edung was only 25 years old when he discovered Kenyanthropus platyops in a team led by Prof. Meave Leakey in 1999. This 3.5 million year old “flat-faced” skull quickly grabbed international headlines and changed the course of human evolution. #fossils #turkana #humanevolution

On this “brisk” winter day in #Edmonton, thinking about the late Aga Khan’s generous gift to the University of Alberta Botanic Garden. The world’s Ismaili community is mourning. But know that the Aga Khan’s memory will be a blessing here for decades. #yeg #UniversityofAlberta #ualberta #AgaKhan

The huge oval reflecting pool at the entrance of the Aga Khan Garden. In the reflection, we see a very blue sky and a tall forest of evergreens.

An off-white c fountain in the shape of an open flower with five petals sprays into the sky in the Aga Khan Botanic Gardens.

A vista showing the dramatic central pavilion of the Aga Khan Botanic Garden, a grey-white terraced structure. In the foreground, we see water features and floating lily pads.

Grey and white geometric mosaic blocks in the midst of the Aga Khan Garden with a forest of wild evergreens in the background.

We CT scanned thousands of vertebrates from US natural history collections and made them freely available. Countless people have used the data for research (>200 pubs) and to learn anatomy/morphology. www.morphosource.org/projects/000...

It's long to read but you will not regret it. This perspective from a former editor in chief of Science magazine, provides a good confirmation of what many of us already suspected. Thanks @jeremymberg.bsky.social for this honest & raw description of publishing in science, and not only in Science.

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.

I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief. I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching), but for now I’d like to share a very small sample of the work I’ve been so proud to support (thread)

Introductory post! I'm here to connect with others interested in evolutionary anthropology, human biology, and archaeology. I love being outdoors, but you're more likely to find me in the lab 🦷or classroom 🩻💀+ XC skiing, hiking, and family.
