We're back, and starting a brand new arc! We're building reading lists, 5(ish) key papers to get someone started on topics important for paleolimnologists. We begin with a list to help you with your Reading up on Dating! https://t.co/OAvEoQP60o
Episode 44 concludes Conceptual Rabbit Holes by asking "How much data is too much data", "When are you finished counting", and "How many cores are enough"? It also marks a milestone for the show - for the first time we recorded while in the same room!

New episode alert. We're back for another conceptual rabbit hole, considering the amazing range of different scales environmental processes (size, concentration, time, etc.) occur at, and how paleolimnology fits in. https://t.co/aTOqgmI5Bv
New episode alert (yes, 2 in one month). In episode 41 we consider invasive species, with a look at what paleolimnology can tell us about their impacts. We continue our Conceptual Rabbit Holes arc with The Invasion of the Exotic Aliens https://t.co/8vx7J4PYmq
A slightly delayed episode alert! Episode 40 continues our Conceptual Rabbit Holes arc with a look at the next best thing since sliced sediment (Spoiler Alert! It's sliced poop) https://t.co/PMJHZUBObB
Friday evening episode upload alert! A new arc on conceptual rabbit holes starts with It's a Wiggly World, considering the link between paleo and contemporary records. https://t.co/eT6ytsmQoI
New episode alert! It's been a minute, but we're back with a curated list of contaminants and tracers. It's the top of the POPs! https://t.co/MwyZKBuhDr

The most surprising and interesting research I have worked on to date (w/ @oulutown @Milk_in_a_bag_ and many others) is out today. We found spiny water flea fossils in >100 year-old sediments in 4 inland lakes in Ontario and Minnesota. https://t.co/bsh0CwnJOI
