Coffee biochar instead of sand! Love to see a waste stream replace a dwindling primary resource.

Coffee biochar makes for lower-carbon, stronger concrete
New analysis shows that charred coffee grounds make increase concrete's strength by 30% and shrink its carbon footprint by nearly as much

I loved writing this paper and I'm so happy it's out!
@sharondewitte.bsky.social and I show how ABMs can improve analytical methods in bioarchaeology, with an example showcasing the perils of applying survival analysis to childhood skeletal lesions.

📢 Today I was supposed to be in DC, highlighting what the NSF Social, Behavioral, & Economic Sciences delivers to US taxpayers. NSF had one of the highest returns on investment (ROIs) of federal grantors 👏🏻 (1) and NSF SBE funded 63% of US social and psychological science research (2). 🧵

*Excellent* plenary talk by Heidi Colleran on the (inescapable) role of culture in human fertility, and great example of how modeling and empirical work can strengthen each other.
Starting the week strong 💪 we share now the plenary talk of @heidicolleran.bsky.social, which was part of @ehbea2025.bsky.social
Here, she talks about the misconceptions and the biases behind the idea of “natural fertility”👶
Pass by, have a look, and stay tuned!

Clinically ignored, archaeologically common. Are these holes in the head a thing of the past?
So glad to finally have this award winning research (@paleopathology.bsky.social ) out -- cribra orbitalia and its relationship to health in living Tsimane adults.

Childhood skeletal lesions common in prehistory are present in living forager-farmers and predict adult markers of immune function
Skeletal indicators of childhood stress are associated with cellular indicators of compromised immune function in adults.

We’ve talked about this before, but we wanted to expand on it a little more. Late last week, Elon Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) effectively took control of the Department of the Interior without a single Senate confirmation, public hearing, or vote.
