New Editorial: "Pretty privilege" rdcu.be/dR0Gh Botanically inclined scientists know about plant blindness, the common tendency to overlook flora and concentrate on fauna. But we are similarly afflicted by aesthetic opinions with serious consequences for conservation.

📢 Call for Papers 📢 Kate Evetts 🍂 and I are running a session at TAG45 @ Bournemouth around the "archaeology of cosiness". Looking for a variety of perspectives on when utility becomes comfort and all the nuances in-between. 🔎 Full details here: shorturl.at/V4KK8

Today, we‘re celebrating Aarhus Archaeology 75th jubilee! I‘m proud to have been here 15y now and proud of all the cool things we have achieved. Our lab is open, come and find us to talk science and get some free merch ERC-CLIOARCH 💪🤓💻

In just around 12 hours I leave for another country, where I will be learning and working and severely missing my husband and kids who are staying at home. 3 months. A privilege and a challenge like no other I’ve faced for quite a while. Such is #momademia

While often amazing to look at plants from the Mesolithic, you develop a new sort of frustration with mollusks. The way the shells break down into little fluffy fibres makes the water so murky, every time you start a new scoop of sample you have to wait 5 mins for it to settle!🫠

The dream: people are reading your work The terror: people are reading your work

Time to go back to Germany. 4 more ‘Friday candy’ before I see the kids again ❤️

My job is generally pretty damn fantastic, but some days are even better than others. Yesterday was fabulous as I got to meet this beauty. Twine / yarn made of plant fibre by human hands more than 7000 years ago. #archaeobotany highlights 😍😭

#Archaeobotany twitter, does this look familiar to anyone? I have a bunch of these in one of my waterlogged Mesolithic samples. I feel like they give off pedicel vibes and they look very characteristic, but nobody seems to know what they are and which species!

surfaceimperfections.com ALL my stuff is 40% off for the entire month. If you need some imperfections textures, super realistic flashlights, or some fun subpixel texture maps, this is the time.

PAPER ALERT. First paper from my PhD-project is now out. In collaboration with Felix Riede, we have looked at children and innovation during the Little Ice Age in Greenland. Read it in EJA by European Association of Archaeologists published by Cambridge University Press - Archaeology: doi.org/10.1017/eaa.20…

There's an exciting postdoc (2.5y FTE) opportunity in my group (ERC-CLIOARCH) - a dream project investigating deep time human gene-culture coeveolution, together with Mikkel H. Schierup, fully funded by Villum Fonden

As part of my upcoming Starting Grant funded by DK Frie Forsk.fond, I'm hiring a postdoc interested in isotopes to begin May 2025! Please share, and contact me or find me at hashtag #AGU24 if you have any questions. ⚛ 🌧 🍃 Aarhus University Aarhus Universitet Faculty of Natural Sciences - Aarhus University international.au.dk/about/profile/…

5 different trains and 10 hours later I am now less than an hour away from hugging my kidsssss. Berlin is great but not much can compete with that.

I KNOW we’re being environmentally conscious but honestly these tiny wooden spoons are ridiculous. They could at least have a handle long enough to not get yoghurt all over your hands 🫠

sciencedirect.com/science/articl… One of the smartest and most wonderful women I know has a new article out. Hurry up and read it before your neighbour if you like beautiful pottery and new applications of network analysis! #archaeology
