I will always, always be grateful for the nodding audience members in a panel or a class. There's something reassuring about that subtle nod when all is quiet.

I've always like weather, and talking about the weather. Seems like the same genre as this!

Michigan has some really touching shipwreck museums, including one on Beaver Island. I believe the SS Edmund Fitzgerald is commemorated in the museum on Whitefish Point.

Okay, you had me at that very first paragraph about the beach! (Looking forward to reading the whole thing).

I love to revisit Colleen Morgan's 2019 article, "Avatars, Monsters, and Machines: A Cyborg Archaeology" from the Journal of European Archaeology.

I always enjoy reading my grad program's digital newsletter (aimed at alumni + current), and I try to send updates when I have them. Helps me stay connected and gives us something to talk about at conferences and events.

Yay, I've been waiting for the OA link! Looking forward to summer reading.
