Sign the petition: Provide tertiary institutions a funding boost to enable good long-term staffing decisions. together.org.nz/provide_tertia…

Article is finally submitted after a painfully long incubation period. I can surrender to this cold now.

NZ higher education is having a major public funding crisis, leading to redundancies at Otago and VUW. Please sign in support of your colleagues in Aotearoa! I love the global representation in supporters. It shows what a big impact these little islands have.

Oh Durham, I’ve missed you! I wish you weren’t so far from home.

For each of the recent crises, NZGov has relied on experts. Experts who are largely trained &/or employed at Universities. Defunding Unis when health, climate, disasters, economics etc all face challenges is beyond comprehension. New Zealand Labour NZ National Party Green Party NZ Te Pāti Māori

Me, looking at something I’ve just written:

Holy smokes - have any of you anthro types looked at the prices for the conference venue for AABA 2024 😱😱😱. Is all of LA like this??? My university won’t let me spend grant money on Air BnBs. Not sure how to swing this one..

Did you know that "Wilson's bands", histological markers of slowed enamel formation, were named after an University of Otago Dental School scientist? Great find Lucy Henderson!

I'm embracing my mad scientist era with this new publication. I cannot *believe* the reviewers and co-authors all let me keep this caption

Proud supervisor moment! Phoebe put so much time into her honours project. I'm having a panic attack just thinking about the number of fragments she processed! Phoebe is the sole rep of University of Otago bioanth at ASHB this year.

New publication drop. Lucy Henderson pulled some fascinating data out of the worlds worst preserved teeth! International Journal of Osteoarchaeology | Wiley Online Library onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/oa…

Ah yes. Gotta eat those vitamin D rich oranges! 😂

my trick to being happy is just to remember how strange and unlikely this world is. if the early universe had been just slightly different there would be no hydrogen, but now somehow I’m here and I get to drink coffee

The pursuit of science and technology without roots in the arts, ethics, literature is a Faustian bargain, displaying an eagerness for knowledge uncoupled from wisdom, and the great myths have shown us the tragic end of such a pursuit.
