Archaeologists, if you haven’t watched Time Bandits…..start now. Episode 7 is hilarious, as they end up in the Paleolithic and…..well, interact with Neanderthals. Best thing I’ve ever watched 🤣

Take a look at our beautiful mammoth puppet made by @WetaWorkshop for #TimeBandits
This is before it had its hair done.
Excited to see such a wide variety of women on this organizing call that are supporting Kamala Harris!

My life with a partner in the same field is pretty accurately portrayed in the series Lessons in Chemistry…..especially the second episode where they are collaborating on a manuscript ❤️

A journal reached out to me to do a special issue - I was interested and had several ideas for topics. Then I looked at the editors and saw that the person who bullied me for 5 years was an editor. So yeah, I told them about her and the reaction seemed like they already knew...
