It’s Not Your Fault That Academic Life is Getting Harder by Glen O’Hara
Universities are in trouble, and it’s not just money we’re talking about. They are living through something of a crisis of confidence, even of trust and faith. More and more, I find myself, and my col...

More Portuguese believe that the earliest humans lived among dinosaurs. Also, more people don't believe that we evolved from other animals. Red alert for the scicomm and prehistory community. There is a lot to be done. We are talking about basic knowledge of human and species evolution.

Archaeology Rocks! My podcast just won the Podes 2024 best podcast of the year in the category Science, Technology and Education. I am so glad and grateful to all the listeners and the fantastic researchers that engage in each episode. Thanks also to the Podes jury, I surely didn't see this coming!

Almost five years ago, I made the life-changing resolution to overcome my addiction. While I honor this commitment daily, it often drains the energy I need for smaller but important resolutions. I still take them on, but it requires immense strength. Does this resonate with anybody?

My podcast on Prehistory Science Communication just got nominated for the PODES 2024 Best podcast of the year in the category Science, Technology and Education. I am glad and grateful. It's an excellent highlight of portuguese prehistoric archaeology.

A great place to work and spend time: public libraries. Warm and cozy on this never-ending January and with the most inspiring vibe. A place where we get free access to knowledge and literature, filled with nice people and dedicated librarians. Let's, as book lovers, promote them as much as we can.

Just discovered this playlist, and I am really enjoying its company while trying to write.
PS. It's not about the accuracy of the movies, it's about soundtracks, a genre that I have been exploring lately and really getting a taste of it.

Finally read the brilliant book by @lemoustier.bsky.social Huge mistake doing it in PT. The translation is horror. Words that don't exist in archaeology, sentences one can barely understand... It underserves the scientific and literary quality of the book. Definitely re-reading it in the original.

I'm writing an archaeology book, but my researcher instincts take over. I keep diving into dozens of papers for chapters meant to be rigorous yet short and accessible. Striking the balance between academic precision and engaging storytelling is tough. Any tips for simplifying without losing depth?

Closed my Twitter, having trouble to sort out how to close Instagram, but I will do it. The thing is: no more inner contradiction. Therefore, I'll be around here more often and eager to find some of the persons I followed elsewhere and specially scicomm and archaeology people, also from Portugal.

The mission of my podcast is to raise awareness of prehistory and about those who research it.
It seems that mission is being fulfilled!
A huge thanks to all the listeners and to the researchers that engage in conversations with me.

Engaging communities that have limited access to science education requires a thoughtful, inclusive approach that addresses both cultural and educational gaps. In archaeology, this means creating opportunities for hands-on and accessible activities that resonates with them.

Outreach has the potential to transform how people relate to their past. Plus, when the communities feel involved in the discovery and interpretation of their own history and past, archaeology becomes a shared endeavor rather than an isolated scholarly pursuit.

Social media has a lot of potential, but for a deeper engagement of communities, something that changes us and the others, that is sustainable and lasts in memory, the richness of face-to-face interactions within communities cannot be underestimated. Would you agree?
