RIP James Ferguson stanforddaily.com/2025/02/19/j...

I escaped poverty because I am a scientist. And I am a scientist because of the National Science Foundation. A 🧵:

YES

Out now: We're excited to release the inaugural issue of Animal History, a journal dedicated to publishing cutting-edge historical research on the histories of animals and human-animal relationships. Read the issue at https://buff.ly/3EyyYwM

It’s been 14 days. The new administration has now struck a deal to send detainees to El Salvador prison, including citizens. apnews.com/article/migr...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Murphy: "Let's not pull any punches about why this is happening. Elon Musk makes billions off of his business with China. And China is cheering at this action today. There is no question that the billionaire class trying to take over our govt right now is doing it based on self-interest."

If you know, you know.

This is only the beginning.

Die Zeit won't even show the salute.

Trump's right hand man (literally) just casually giving the Nazi salute... twice.

Back when I was doing my dissertation research #javelinas #multispecies #anthropology

Hilarious write-up from the early 20th-Century. “…but of all the hog tribe the most viscous ‘stick at nothing’ daredevil is the javelina.”

I was going back through research photos and came across this gem. This is an ocelot footprint in Laguna Atascosa NWR. The refuge has the largest population of ocelots in the US.

I’ve finished a draft for an all-new introduction to my book. Living with Javelinas Substantive Chapters: Introduction 1 Dirty Pigs 2 Weedy Pests 3 The Folk Javelina 4 Hunting Encounters 5 Tourist Encounters 6 Other Encounters 7 Episodic Politics 8 Intimate Politics Conclusion

Looks like anthropology’s back on the menu, boys! www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Interesting research on a link between herpes virus and Alzheimer’s www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Jave a jappy javelina joliday!

My book is currently under contract with UT Press. It’s based on my dissertation. As part of adapting it as a book, I’m writing an all-new Introduction chapter. After two days, it’s up to 4k words. Here are javelina babies from my study.

I’ve officially signed my first book contract with UT Press to publish my book titled “Living with Javelinas”

Okay folks, I also compiled a list of environmental / multispecies anthropologists. #EnviroAnthro #AnthroSky #Anthropology It's VERY incomplete, so please let me know who I missed, or if you'd like to be added. [Or, of course, if you'd like to be removed from this list.] go.bsky.app/Hax2cvh

My review of an excellent new book.

Given the current political reality and the expansion of attacks on science, it is time for scientists to be more effective, forceful, and vociferous as their own political advocates. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
