Excellent comment from @historians.org opposing a rule proposed by the OMB that would "shift federal grant administration away from the merit-based, expert-driven framework that has sustained American research leadership for more than seven decades." www.historians.org/news/aha-sub...

Out today in Public Humanities: "Perhaps tellingly, the most popular page on the site is the only one that lacks any data—but does address public confusion about the term 'humanities.'" bit.ly/3Rm44xK

Popping back in after 7 months to share my latest on the multifaceted career of Edgar Banks and his efforts to carefully control his image throughout it all. @bhajournal.bsky.social has the open access article here: archaeologybulletin.org/articles/10....

Cheers to Brett Bobley on his last day at the NEH. It cannot be overstated the impact Brett had on the agency and on all those who had the pleasure of working with him, myself included. #ThanksBrett for all your years of service to the humanities. @brettbobley.bsky.social

A few years ago I spent a weeks combing through ChronAm looking for mentions of Edgar Banks selling cuneiform tablets. Instead, I mostly found a robust series of lectures given all over the country over the course of 23 years. Over the break I took that data and put it into StoryMaps. arcg.is/0K4WjD

My Twitter account is officially dead, and thus so is my pinned tweet directing all of you to my digital project. So, here it is again. I think it's pretty neat and I hope you spend some time with it. www.whereisthecuneiform.com
