"We're withholding our endorsement because our owner is frightened of government retaliation if Donald Trump wins" is a more forceful and eloquent statement than any newspaper editorial ever written.

The difference between 1.5°C, 2°C or 3-4°C average global warming can sound marginal. But, they represent vastly different scenarios for the future of humanity. We must #ActNow. un.org/en/actnow Via @UN

Given how hot it is in the Caribbean basin this feels as extreme as it looks.

The Northern Atlantic Ocean is heating up so rapidly that it is literally, nearly off the charts. Pay heed. This is well beyond record-breaking.

Place-based health promotion (for Belize) inspired conversations with medical anthropology, supported by a biological anthropologist, for local engagement led by an archaeologist, using the talent of linguistic anthropologist, with the help of our local partners. #Anthropology

Knowing this no serious scholar should publish in any MDPI or Frontiers journal, or conduct reviews for them, or serve as an editor.

Great thread on MDPI predatory journals being de-listed. Why do archaeologists (are you listening, Mayanists) publish in MDPI journals? These, and other predatory journals (Frontiers in ....) harmful to the profession. Are you really that desperate to publish something?

Our publication in @CommsEarth is getting a lot of well deserved attention. The role of seasonal rainfall predictability in the #neotropics is one of the most important, and most understudied, climate features that can predict reliable crop harvests in the past and present.

Disintegration of complex Classic Maya population centres possibly driven by declines in seasonal rainfall predictability in addition to protracted drought. @SciTobias @LisaMBaldini1 @SFMBreitenbach @pucicu @DrFranziskaAnna @DJ_Kennett @KeithPrufer nature.com/articles/s43247-0…
