Meant to help students think through a problem using method and theory from complexity science it is a very "here is how I think" kind of book. Hopefully it's useful. It's not terribly long; if you buy it get the paperback (the hardback is so expensive!) or have your library order it! 2/2

No free coffee! But surprisingly we do have *good* coffee on campus, for us heathens!
But no faculty lounge. And no coffee. If we did have a faculty lounge it would be compulsory Dirty Soda Dispensers a la: www.allrecipes.com/what-is-dirt...

We did a deep-dive into dirty soda, the trending drink that is popular in Utah thanks to TikTok (MomTok) and the new "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" show everyone is talking about on Hulu.

My best friend in 1st-5th grade once said to me she wanted to make a concrete impression of her butt so she'd have the most comfortable seat.
I'm sending her this story...

Here's the beginnings of my cover art for my new book, "Thinking Through Archaeological Complexity." Thanks to @carlbergstrom.com who, when I first started painting, told me about someone he knew who painted all her slides at talks. Gave me the courage to ask to paint my book cover!

I use this exact mosaic to talk about food webs in ancient times! Great example of tracking trophic networks in the past! www.google.com/books/editio...

Network research has recently been adopted as one of the tools of the trade in archaeology, used to study a wide range of topics: interactions between island communities, movements through urban space...

You were the best of Twitter. I miss old Twitter.
Do you take requests?
When I was a kid my dad told me Astrapia stephaniae was named after me and I believed him for a couple years. Will you do your makeup as her? :)

I was an early early early person on bluesky, it just hadn't taken off... but I feel like, maybe it has critical mass now? We shall see.
