Excited that the 2nd paper from my PhD, with @thepotlady, @ProfDewar, and Richard Evershed is out today #OpenAccess in @SciReports. Have a read if you're interested in lipids pots and what they can say about LSA herder/forager diets in NW South Africa rdcu.be/c4rns

pharmacy just called to book my 2nd vaccine dose. I only received the first at the end of April...after all the waiting/running around for the 1st dose, all we really needed was the possibility of having to cancel the Stampede©. If only we would have known 🤷‍♀️🙄

Feeling an unusual amount of relief and hopefulness after receiving the first dose of the COVID vaccine. If you can get yourself on a vaccine waste mitigation waitlist ASAP.

Heartbreaking news UCT's Main Library destroyed by fire. Myself and others at @UofT_Anthro @UTSCAnthroDept @ArchCentreUofT have research ties with the @UCT community. I've always been so welcomed by faculty, staff, students

and without their collaboration/support I wouldn't have completed my MSc/completing my PhD. I want to donate to student evac and fire fighting efforts but having a hard time finding which organizations I can donate to without a SA bank account. #uctfire #uctfires

Dr. Cameron is such an amazing mentor and all around badas* scientist!
People, I’m tired. COVID-affected workload has me tired. Anti-black racism has me exhausted. But I’m here, and I’m @BlackAFinSTEM #BlackInNature #BlackandSTEM. I grew up loving the outdoors and human evolution. Now I’m an Assistant Prof. in Evolutionary Anthropology.

So good!
MUSEUMS ASSEMBLE! It's time for #CURATORBATTLE! 💥 Today's theme, chosen by you, is #CreepiestObject! We're kicking things off with this 3rd/4th century hair bun from the burial of a #Roman lady, still with the jet pins in place... CAN YOU BEAT IT? 💥
