When it comes to convincing people to act in the best interest of society, can influential figures make a difference? A new paper by @StefaniCrabtree, Simon Levin, @CDWren and Avinash Dixit published in @PNASNexus, shows that influencers can play a valuable role in convincing others to act in the best interest of society.

🚨Another new paper!
Delighted to have worked on this @Nature paper 'Frequent disturbances enhanced the resilience of past human populations'
It explores how populations absorb and recover from disturbances using #archaeology data

Are there available 3d models of Homo longi or the Harbin skull? I'm attempting to print Xiahe right now and I was hoping to further expand my teaching collection

Wow, simply … mindblowing. 🤯
An unmade bed. So what? - An unmade bed left 1,944 years ago in #Pompeii!
This is how #archaeology is about people, not things.
(Thanks a lot for sharing these fantastic on site impressions, Sophie! 👏)

I had the huge privilege of visiting the newly discovered room at villa Civita Giuliana and just the detail of the blanket left untidily on the bed was incredibly touching and elicited such a strong human connection to whoever it was who once occupied this room.

Today’s work underground in the Dragon’s Back chamber was amazing, so impressed with what @Keneiloe and team have done. And then, a surprise from another site!
