Very excited to start this year’s publication lineup with an article that combines high-resolution isotopic analyses of teeth, Open Science, and statistical reform: www.e-a-a.org/EAA/News___P... 🦷🐘👩‍🔬

Very excited that my Masters student, Johanna Evans, who recently completed a thesis titled “Interpretative potential of high resolution sequential stable oxygen isotope analysis to investigate past climate and animal movement patterns” has been awarded a Postgraduate Medal of Academic Excellence👏🏻🏅🦷

Our welcome event for students in the Masters of Archaeological and Evolutionary Science was a blast. Students heard lightening talks from faculty while playing Bingo, heard from past & current students about their thesis projects, and played for archaeologically-themed prizes in a trivia quiz.

Thank you for a fantastic @isbarchaeology.bsky.social inTorino! Highlights include talking about teeth and Asiab boar feasting during a poster session at the Musei Reali and a conference dinner at the National Automobile Museum! rdcu.be/euyuO

Wonderful post that provides insight into how @kjkillackey.bsky.social created the illustration for our wild boar study. It was such a pleasure working with her on this project!

I’m very excited to see our findings on wild boar feasting in The Conversation theconversation.com/guests-at-a-...
theconversation.com
Guests at a feast in Iran’s Zagros Mountains 11,000 years ago brought wild boars from all across the land
Humans have feasted since the dawn of agriculture – but a new find suggests the practice of bringing exotic food to a communal gathering is even older.

Had a great time at the Association for Environmental Archaeology meeting in Oxford with my students Oscar Balla and Johanna Evans. Our posters generated some great discussion and the ANU SHRIMP lab mascot loved the travel!

Day 2 of statistical reform awareness week! Today's meme by Amelia Berthold. While Null Hypothesis Significance Testing is familiar and easy, taking a sharp turn and committing to embracing Open Science principles will eventually get us to where we want to be!

To celebrate the end of a successful semester, I will be posting memes that students in my research design & statistics class have created to summarise the key messages behind the new statistics approach. Today's meme was created by Abbey Petrie.
