Simona Kossak n’était ni une ermite ni une marginale : elle était une scientifique en résistance. Son nom circule aujourd’hui comme un symbole, celui d’un refus net de la modernité prédatrice et d’un engagement radical pour le vivant.

Writing doesn't just help you process your thoughts.

Neuroscientists have found it physically changes your brain in ways that build resilience and help you handle everyday stress and challenges.

Writing builds resilience by changing your brain, helping you face everyday challenges
Resilience is often presented as feats of bravery and endurance. But everyday practices like journaling, drafting a text or even writing a to-do list are manifestations of a capacity to adapt.

Had an amazing time in Ardèche at PPN11, which I co-organized with the Archéorient team. Great energy and discussions. I also shared my talk on Functional evidence of mass hunting practices related to #DesertKites Users. Thank you all! Looking forward to the next meeting! @archeorient.bsky.social

NEW This is the first collective #megalithic tomb discovered in Oman.
Dating to the 5th millennium BC, the individuals buried there came from multiple communities, some as far as 50km away, indicating strong connectivity in #Neolithic southern Arabia.

My thoughts on the excellent debut novel There's No Turning Back By Alba de Céspedes tr. by Ann Goldstein.

@cnrsecologie.bsky.social regrette profondément l'adoption de cette loi à la vision court-termiste & ses conséquences graves sur l’environnement, qui méprise santé & bien-être de la population & le rôle des espèces sauvages dans la prod. agricole. La communauté scientifique n'a pas été entendue.
Le Parlement a définitivement adopté mardi la proposition de loi agricole Duplomb-Menonville, comprenant entre autres une mesure décriée de réintroduction sous conditions d'un pesticide néonicotinoïde, et présentée comme une réponse à la colère agricole de 2024.
