More than five years ago I made a #shiny converter for BP to BC and 'nth millennium BC' because it's all just too confusing.
I still haven't learned, so here you go:

Why is Matt zapping oyster shells thousands of times with lasers??!!
This week we’re analyzing oysters with Dr. @niklashausmann.bsky.social using laser induced breakdown spectrometry (LIBS) to “map” the elemental makeup of the oyster’s shell throughout its life 1/3 #archaeology #ecology

Usually this is done with 15-20 oxygen isotope samples/shell. Taking weeks of work. For Matt’s sample of oysters, this would usually cost $45k. Instead, it costs a trip to @leizarchaeology.bsky.social + a single oxygen sample/shell (to determine the salinity of the water the oyster grew) 3/3

Dear Bluesky,
www.thenerve.news is still tiny. We launched it with no dirty money (no money at all, lol!). But we're proving what's possible with a small expert team & no billionaire owners.
We knew the UK press wouldn't understand or properly cover this story, so we did. Thank you for the support!
