What a generous review from Magadalena Gil. I appreciate her engagement with my work and the important questions she raises for the period that follows my study.

ch 5 in my book deals with the built environment! Not US but might be helpful.

Ángeles Picone @mapicone.bsky.social · 22d

In theory you can disable it, but it doesn't seem to do much. I also worry about scholars uploading their work there... it's really disappointing because it undermines the nature of scholarly engagement!

Ángeles Picone @mapicone.bsky.social · 22d

Academia.edu has been really helpful in connecting with scholars in South America. There is where I found their latest research.

It's really sad that the change of terms of use, which includes new AI features, forced me to delete my account.

Analysis of 20 years of Amazon data shows Indigenous Territories can lower fire-related disease risks and shape zoonotic disease patterns, depending on forest cover and legal status.

I did a short version of this activity with sophomore majors and was excellent!

A great ice-breaker to jump right into the historian's work.

Historians - as you think about the new semester, consider this first-day exercise as a way to get conversation going about what historians *actually* do, and the context within which we do it. catherinedenial.org/blog/uncateg...

Ayacucho se queda sin glaciares y se convierte en símbolo del retroceso hídrico en Perú

"Ayacucho, Perú, se ha convertido en un símbolo del retroceso hídrico nacional: ha perdido todos sus glaciares en apenas 8 años, ya no tiene superficie glaciar. Un informe descubre que el país ha perdido 62 mil hectáreas de glaciares en 30 años y solo quedan 94 mil hectáreas. La desaparición de los glaciares es una advertencia sobre lo que podría ocurrir en otras regiones si no se toman medidas."
