AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

🧪 But seriously, this one study has more clear creations of form as a means of 'marking' a medium (in this case, water) than we have for the entirety of the #Neanderthal archaeological record. If they can control the shape enough to make the perfect O, then the other forms may be intentional too?

We'd like to introduce the speaker who's opening the Festival: Susie Maidment @tweetisaurus.bsky.social, an expert on ornithischian dinosaurs (a group which includes triceratops and stegosaurus). She's a senior researcher at the Natural History Museum.

I’m delighted to have been elected as a Fellow @antiquaries.bsky.social . Huge thanks to @heather1576.bsky.social for nominating me.

Recently, the NL Society for Evolutionary Biology awarded me the "Best Paper Award", and Dutch Physics Magazine gave me the "Picture your research" award, both for our grounded running paper. I often worry that evo biomechanics is too niche for both fields, so this was very encouraging!
