Two years since we published this paper on ancient climate and settlement change in SW Türkiye. We tried to be transparent about what could really be said given the available evidence. Still the paper I am most proud of - I think it deserves more love!

“I do question how much the university administration understands the concept of free speech,” says @USC journalism professor @afuahirsch. “The point of free speech is that people have the right to say things that you might find uncomfortable or inconvenient,” she tells me.
