Today life came full circle, and the 6 year old me who was inspired by a book about human evolution just earned a PhD in it.

🚨📢 Our OA paper about a new Oldowan locality (Sare-Abururu) on the Homa Penisula, Kenya is out. This 1.7 Ma quartz-dominated assemblage demonstrates that there was a ton of technological and behavioral diversity across the Homa Peninsula Oldowan. Link:

Research that bypasses scientific norms in favour of media blitz should raise questions, says our @PickeringRobyn & @UJPalaeo’s @Onthatilesmom.
In this @SAJS_Official opinion, they call for reflection on the future of human evolution in #SouthAfrica.

Officially a #Privatdozentin by completing #habilitation in #Geosciences @UniJena . Huge thanks to Profs C. Heubeck & P. Frenzel for support, and friends and colleagues @MPI_GEA.
It was four-year in the making, glad it is all done before the #ChineseNewYear2024 – at Jena, Germany

Luxmanda isn't just a cool Tanzanian archaeological site 🇹🇿 - it's a rapidly growing village, and it needs a medical clinic for its underserved community - a place to deliver babies, treat emergencies, provide preventive care. 😷 Will you help us build it? gofund.me/3331de1a

I put together a guide with illustrations, essential facts, and context for Australopithecus species. Already went to subscribers and students, maybe you will find it useful!

Our open access study out last week discovered what people served from metal cauldrons over 5000 years ago! The amazing organic preservation allowed by the metal surfaces let us see what types of foods were cooked within.

It’s officially published!
This was such a massive project - at times overwhelming…but the team of editors was amazing and made it worthwhile.
FYI - the South Africa section alone has 38 chapters 😀
Thank you so much to everyone who contributed 🫶

I tried to get them to imprint on me, but they were too smart.
On our recent trip to the @Iziko_Museums in Cape Town, each morning @PalaeoJenn and I would pass these little ducklings.
Over three weeks we watched them grow from tiny puffballs to awkward teens (still cute though) ❤️❤️❤️
Kids grow up so fast!

I have difficulty receiving reviewer comments.
I think it's because my brain interprets the reviewers as being mad at me, rather than them spending their time/effort trying to help me improve.
What are your tips for receiving critical feedback on academic work?
