Had a great time attending the #Leakey Foundation's online event on #African palaeoscience and seeing my friends and myself featured in the presentation! Thank you all for your fantastic presentations!

🌍✨ Join PAST, @TheLeakeyFndtn, and @HumanOrigins this Saturday, 14 Sept, for a free online event celebrating two iconic African fossils. Moderated by @_lschroeder, explore the past, present, and future of African palaeoscience. Register now: https://t.co/A7brpr1V43
In my paper out today, coauthor Bernard Wood and I explore the potential impacts of a spatially limited fossil record on understanding human evolution. We do this using two "thought experiments", focusing on the Eastern African Rift Valley. (1/4)
A new trick for slowing deforestation might just be the oldest one in the book: reverence. Some 35,000 churches of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church steward country’s last remaining old-growth forests, which appear as circular oases scattered throughout the northern region.
Incredibly excited and honored to have been awarded a dissertation fieldwork grant from @TheLeakeyFndtn which will support my research mapping the pattern of hominin activities at Olduvai Gorge! It's going to be a great summer!!
I’m helping to organize a conference, and multiple presenters have said their department/institution may not or definitely will not support them to travel to a conference if they are “only” presenting a poster, not a podium talk. Can we change this policy? #Academia
This life-altering research project I worked on as an undergraduate is now published in Nature! 🇪🇹
I met @TewabeNegash here and now we're co-authors together 😊
Thanks to the hard work and persistence of everyone involved, especially Dr. K.

“Adaptive foraging along dry-season waterholes would have transformed seasonal rivers into ‘blue highway’ corridors, potentially facilitating an out-of-Africa dispersal and suggesting that the event was not restricted to times of humid climates”
