I’m prepping some lessons for my 9th grade class with Rome Reborn, and it’s wonderful to be able to hear my beloved undergrad advisor’s voice again after he passed away last year ❤️ Such an amazing resource, made even more special now!

Lately I've been mulling over lots of questions re: wayfinding in the Subura and how demolition affected this process... Imagine my happy surprise when I discovered that @quidamabo.bsky.social published a fantastic article on wayfinding and subaltern Romans just last month! 👏👏

Once again urging archaeologists to critically assess the AI push into archaeology. There is a huge swath of problematic ethical issues that come with the AI tech & tech lords & we don't have to make it easier for them to insert themselves in archaeology by welcoming them in. Don't be complicit.

I'm trying to write an abstract for a conference paper for an American conference for the first time in... like 5 years...? And I am so stumped because the word limit is so big! 300-500 words for an abstract?! I'm used to 150-200 word abstracts for UK conferences 😅

Does anyone know any more about this arch carved out of the mountainside on Via delle Gallie in Donnas? This book mentions it without any citations or sources and I would really like to know more about it 😭

Well, the past few days have reminded me why I dip only the slightest toe into the stagnant pond of academia, and, aside from writing my dissertation, spend the majority of my time and emotional effort at my phenomenal job teaching amazing high school students... 100000/10 career choice on my part ✨

Trump again just implied that the MMR vaccine causes autism.
Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism.
