Spent most of the past week in Oulu, Finland, meeting with fellow childhood enthusiasts at the annual @sscipchildhood.bsky.social conference. A pleasure, as always! 👏🏻

The culmination of 4 years: Yesterday I successfully defended my PhD-thesis at @auarcher.bsky.social It was such a great day, and I am really thankful for all the colleagues, family and friends who showed up to support me and celebrate with me afterwards 🎉

I am very happy to share that my first (but hopefully not last) SKALK Junior article is out. The article is the work of me and @felixthehauskat.bsky.social concerning play objects in Greenland during the Little Ice Age 👏🏻 The article is based on part of my PhD work: lnkd.in/ddu5dejs

Just because the last session has wrapped, it doesn’t mean that #SSCIP2025 is over. We still have a workshop on isotopes led by Julia Beaumont and Corinne Feuillatre @sscipchildhood.bsky.social @aiasdk.bsky.social @au.dk
