Big thanks to Lazaro and Olesenge local Maasai field assistants I've had the pleasure of working with for three seasons now at Olduvai Gorge. Their dedication, local knowledge, and ability to blend seamlessly into our geological work make a real difference. Ashe naleng’.

This Acheulean study at Engaji Nanyori adds depth to the story of Oldupai Gorge and to the environments I’m currently investigating. Congratulations to Arturo Cueva Temprana and all co authors!

Umbali ni changamoto, lakini kimya hiki cha kukosa mawasiliano kinauma zaidi. Moyo wangu uko na familia yangu na watu wangu. Tanzania itasimama tena!

Tanzania, the home of peace and unity. No challenge can take that away.

May we also #PrayTogether for #Tanzania, where, following the recent elections, violent clashes have broken out, leaving many victims. I urge everyone to avoid all forms of violence and to follow the path of dialogue.

Sasa naelewa kwa nini tulifundishwa “simu za maneno kumi” tulipokuwa shule ya msingi.
