Archaeology & genetics undergrad at UQ. Also love me some Australian megafauna, which makes 5yo me very proud.

Today, I gave my first conference presentation on my undergraduate research project at the @AustArchaeology Conference 2024. I just wanted to thank everyone for being so kind, encouraging and supportive. It was a great experience! #AAA47

[Jessica Gibbs @jrmkg]

Thrilled to be at the #AAA47 DJ Hippocampus gig. It's already such a fantastic vibe! Highlight of the year 😊

Okay, I have spent some time analysing the kids' social media ban Bill and holy hell, this is bad.

You have one day (til COB tomorrow) to get a letter of submission in and I think it would be great if you did.

Analysis. @DavidShoebridge @AdamBandt @SenatorJordon @Asher_Wolf.

My prediction is that creative companies that invest heavily in AI while at the same time are laying off creatives are going to be wiped out in the coming years

New evidence for early occupation of Island south east QLD at ~30-50ka.

"[this evidence] confirm[s] early human occupation along Sahul’s now-drowned eastern continental shelf "

On the final day of #aaa46 this herd of tiny dinosaurs begin their march into the unknown from the @ARCHE_Griffith booth

[Dr. Jayne Wilkins @DrJayneWilkins]

At #AAA46, Honours student Aidan Hughes presented new experimental results relevant to identifying novices in the archaeological record 👏, initiating an awesome conversation about the topic with loads of good questions. @ARCHE_Griffith @Griffith_SciEnv

🐸New paper alert🐸
Ever wondered how we know what species a fossil frog belongs too. Well we use the ilium in Australia. I use three dimensional geometric morphometrics and taxonomic descriptions to determine whether the ilium is informative.

A cute little birthday party at #icaz2023 😊

You know how they tell you to shift your environment to help overcome procrastination? Well, now I'm just googling "is mild long covid a thing" on my verandah instead of my couch and I love that for me.

Unrelated: check to see what latest boosters you might be eligible for. 🙃

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

I made a mistake and I would like to apologize to the person I let down...

...and that person is me but on Wednesday. He's gonna be so mad.

[Jessica Gibbs @jrmkg]

Real wisdom from Uncle Neil Ingram. Appreciate his insightful comments. #AAA45

[Dr Serena Love @drserenalove]

By focusing on archaeology and using Australian examples we can achieve 2 things:
1. teach science and get young people interested in archaeology; and
2. teach that archaeology happens in Australia.

Two birds with one stone.

[Jessica Gibbs @jrmkg]

This thread. 🔥 I can vouch for how interested kids are and how fun it is to present our work to them. Remembering the recent success of @marsupialtapir's palaeontology foray with a bunch of high energy grade 7s and how brilliant and engaged they were. #AAA45

[Dr Serena Love @drserenalove]

My #AAA45 paper this year focused on how we can integrate #archaeology into the AU science curriculum. All too often, I'm told by #historyteacher that "archaeology is not a science" and that students are pushed to study history instead (thread)

[Jessica Gibbs @jrmkg]

Georgia Williams highlighting that teachers and archaeologists merely talking *about* Indigenous perspectives and people, rather than including Indigenous people in the conversation, is a problem. A three-way partnership should be the goal. Brilliant Honours thesis. #AAA45
