🌟 Exciting news! Introducing our brand-new Isotope Archaeology & Forensics Lab at VU Amsterdam! It is part of the Netherlands Isotope GEochemistry Laboratory (NIGeL), enabling cutting-edge research in Earth sciences, archaeology, forensics, and cultural heritage.
TLC once advised we don’t go chasing waterfalls and to stick to the rivers and the lakes that we are used to. But what if you’ve only ever chased waterfalls and that’s what you’re used to?
I’m starting to feel like I’m being used for my brain 🫠 running 5 very different projects in 5 separate time zones has me working 15 hour days. But I’m learning so much!

The inevitable moment when your advisor reaches out asking you to submit final chapters from your dissertation for review.
In need of some positive hopeful vibes and motivation! @CouragePhD#phd#writing#crunchtime
So grateful to have been a part of this work with Noa Lincoln. Website links to 5 articles that demonstrate the importance of context and traditional ecological knowledge in constructing narratives.

To work or not to work??
I have a year left of writing to finish my PhD. But my dept finding ends next month.

@pragya1pandey Can’t count any portion of time between thanksgiving and January 2 as a working business day 😆 So it’s only technically been submitted 10 days.
@PeteButtigieg can our tax dollars pay for a more connected rail system across this country? Tired of spending $1k+ on flights to sit in a cramped metal tube for majority of the day, assuming there are no delays from weather, staffing shortages, mechanical issues, etc.
@Apple idk if you think it’s cute to follow @Microsoft s lead in estimating times for software updated- but it’s rather annoying that it estimates “10 minutes remaining” for over an hour & the entire process takes about 2 hours.
