With all the news coming in, it's clear that it's a dire time for science. It's a very dire time for higher education. It's an especially dire time for archaeology

Recent work on Tinshemet Cave suggests that modern humans and Neandertals shared much of their material cultures across the key time period before modern people dispersed throughout the world. For me, cultural and biological identities of these hominins blend together.

Tinshemet Cave and modern-Neandertal cultural interactions
New work at a site of similar age to Skhūl and Qafzeh suggests cultural sharing among groups of different biological ancestry.

Great to see this new fossil hominin from Sima del Elefante! This adds a bit more understanding to the earliest occupation of Europe more than 1 million years ago, with a population not very much like the Homo antecessor sample or later European groups.

finally-satellites can monitor & map global carbon dioxide emissions - here massive amounts detected at one of the world's largest LNG plants on an island off northwestern Australia, also home to a 50,000 year old archaeological site, one of oldest on this continent
Carbon Mapper now has some visuals of carbon dioxide plumes online, including this 450 tonne per hour one right over Gorgon LNG terminal.
This one was seen during a time when the CCS was operational and ironically you can see some CCS injection sites in this pic.
The plume is about 7 km long.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
