“it’s reasonable…to ask the economists to sit still long enough to encounter the basic questions lobbed at every first-year grad student. Mastery of these questions is not just a status signifier; it shows that you understand what has been said, so you can contribute something new and meaningful.”

Bit confused by the media framing on the new Yunxian paper. No where is it stated that H. sapiens (as a species) is older than we thought, but rather “The origin of the sapiens clade is estimated to be about 1.02 Ma.”

A clade with an origin 1 Ma is much different than a species with an origin 1 Ma

This is the Cane Patch site on the GA coast. A shell heap once 65m across, 10m tall. Accumulated 4k yrs ago by Indigenous people living in the earliest permanent villages in North America. Cane Patch likely served as an important place for new villages to maintain wider social networks #archaeology

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, academia is in a death spiral unless it develops class consciousness

Jaap de Roode @jaapderoode.bsky.social · Sep 8

From a grant rejection: "I would recommend finding a more cost effective way to conduct the study, such as using labor of a graduate student, which could reduce the overall cost by 80%." To clarify: that would leave $9,856 for 2 years. Shocking! Graduate students are NOT free and forced labor! 🧪

New review out in @thelancetplanet.bsky.social from our rodent-borne zoonoses workshop @ciddpsu.bsky.social 🐭🌍

Humans & rodents share a long history and many pathogens -from plague to mpox. Outbreak prevention needs socially + ecologically grounded solutions

🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Reducing the threats of rodent-borne zoonoses requires an understanding and leveraging of three key pillars: disease ecology, synanthropy, and rodentation

Rodents have co-existed with humans for centuries, and frequently exchange pathogens. Historically, rodent-driven plague outbreaks scoured the Old Wor…
