A story of moving to #Alberta and staying that largely reflects my own and many (if not most) others who moved here from out-of-province. Alberta is the best place to live, work and raise a family. https://twitter.com/markusoff/status/1654140695953698830

Islanders have long claimed ape-like humans, remarkably similar to the fossil species Homo floresiensis, survive in secluded forests of Indonesia. An anthropologist investigates why. 🙈🇮🇩 https://www.sapiens.org/biology/flores-island-ape-men/

Sharing some ✨brand new results✨ from our team’s work in Turkana this morning in Tuscany 3 at 10:15. If you’re into bioarch, classic 1960s field photos, solving old mysteries & messy questions about human responses to climate change, this one’s for you! #AABA2023

@lesleyharrington @LeMoustier These are amazing!!

This paper surveying Canadian graduate students and their funding is full of interesting findings. It also suggests a recommended minimum stipend. How does your graduate school compare? https://cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10.1139/bcb-2023-0021

“The most important point in Darwin's teachings was, strangely enough, overlooked. Man has not only evolved, he is evolving. This is a source of hope in the abyss of despair.”—Theodosius Dobzhansky (1962)

Congratulations 👏 to our excellent Graduate Program Administrator, ⭐Heather Cook⭐! And thank you, @AGAS_UofA

Canada’s universities are furious over a ‘bupkis budget’ that didn’t boost grants for discovery research, despite advice the Liberals got to do so from a panel they themselves named.

Let's ignore attempts to deflate our expectations, stay positive despite the disappointments of Budget2023, work to rebuild the consensus that emerged in 2017, and aim for Budget2024 to be a landmark in Canadian science funding and governance. Nothing attempted, nothing gained.

"Ducks" is haunting and original. If you haven't yet picked it up, Albertan or not, it's a must-read!
