Very proud of my Marine Affairs capstone class for their hard work and unique, interdisciplinary projects! Two are award winners for their excellent research at this year's HPU Capstone Symposium- taking home the Research Award and Dean's Award.

Live tweeting a review of the dire wolf paper = *chef's kiss* The answer to my own curiosity and skepticism. I 💙 nerds!
alright i have my laptop, guess i'm livetweeting the dire wolf preprint.
so a quick reminder: this is not yet peer-reviewed, so there's some different expectations re: quality.
also let's be clear, i'm a hella biased reader, bc i don't trust the hype they're courting

Briefly read through this and...hmm. I have thoughts that may merit a deeper dive.
One big concern: while their reference method seems reasonable for research uses, I'm thinking that if you want to claim you're cloning one, I'm sorry but you've actually gotta de novo that.

Yes, PLEASE! Interdisciplinary research is cool, but you don't have to be an expert in everything. Read up to see who's maybe already working on the social dimensions of that topic and reach out. With mutual respect, great collaborations are possible!
In summary:
Rethinking how to still do science with reduced budgets is a great idea, and I can help.
Adding a social science survey is a great idea, and I can help.
Adding a social science survey without learning how social science works is a very very bad idea, and yet people keep doing it!

For those who are mad and activated (good) my one hope is that you will look for the people already doing the work. You probably do not need to invent your own new organization or group. Find the people already doing it and join them, listen to them, learn from them.
