First half of 2025:

Started a PhD, worked on some articles… and spent the last 8 months ‘co-authoring’ my biggest project yet: a baby boy.
On maternity leave now, waiting for his arrival 💙

Yesterday I presented my MA thesis work from last year at the 6th Nordic Zooarchaeology Meeting at Moesgaard in Aarhus.
Wonderful first experience presenting at a conference as a PhD student.
Looking forward to one more day of zooarch fun! 🦴🐾

Feel so lucky to have these fluffy friends roaming around just next to my office space at #Moesgård.
Quite idyllic I must say 🐂🌷

Kiel presentation over and done with! ❤️🌱 What an enjoyable session today, with lots of perspective on submerged landscapes. I call these pictures: 1) plant nerd gesticulates wildly and 2) is academia wildly biased against short people 😂

I'm on route to Gothenburg to give a seminar on our work exploring the role and relevance of stranded whales in the Late Palaeolithic along the European margins.

Preliminary results out here doi.org/10.1080/1556... with @shumon.bsky.social, @sofiefh.bsky.social et al. but we've got more coming :)

Spent a few days with my great colleagues at Clioarch @auarcher.bsky.social talking about science and life, going for walks in these beautiful surroundings and lastly, eating a lot of food. Lovely!

Calling all #archaeologists working with #datasets. I am wondering what software to use for building my database. I currently use Excel, but I would like to hear what others have had success with using. (% Microsoft Access though). 1/2

I hope everyone had a great Christmas 🎄

This year, my Christmas became a bit more festive, as I got the news that I will be starting my #PhD journey at Aarhus University next year, supervised by
@felixthehauskat.bsky.social @brusgaard.bsky.social & Jacob Kveiborg.
Can’t wait! 🎓🎉

We had heard about the challenges posed by motherhood within academia, but what about the previous stage? @ecfreewoman.bsky.social & I wrote our story for @science.org on how the academic system makes it almost impossible for women to even plan for a family ❤️‍🩹: www.science.org/content/arti...
As women in academia, having children can feel impossible. Talking about it makes us feel less alone
The struggle is “balancing their careers not just with motherhood, but with what comes before: relationships and planning for a family,” these postdocs write

Hi everyone! It’s nice to get yet another platform to interact with the scientific community beyond the formal emails. Let me start with a thread where I introduce myself and give a short recap of what I do!

I’m Sofie, 27, happily married and currently living in Aarhus.
