'They were displaying the typical symptoms of being stoned: red eyes, wobbly gaits, and drowsy demeanors. But these weren’t people who had just frequented their local dispensary—they were cows.'

'Ancient ivory isn’t replacing elephant ivory, but is instead sustaining the market’s appetite for it.'

One of my fave work from home perks has been getting to spend more time tending to my #houseplants!

#Introduction I'm a research and data analyst for the #Science Journals who spends my days immersed in the world of #scholarly #publishing, #ethics, #policy, #DEI, #scicomm, and of course #data.

I'm trained as an #archaeologist and will forever be straddling the worlds of #arts #humanities and #sciences. My past research looked at the #spatial dimensions of #craft #practice in first millennium BC #britain with a particular focus on #ancient #metallurgy and #metalworking via a lens of #experimental #archaeology. And yeah, I'll *eventually* write up some of my PhD work...

I'm a #theory junky and I'm team #realism (over positivism) forever.

Here's ten years of me in my natural habitats.
