Scientists recently unearthed remnants of a ~5900-year-old pine forest melting out of alpine ice high in the Rockies. 🌲🧪🏺 The rare find reveals an exceptional view of our recent climate past, including the effects of Icelandic volcanos on global temperatures. New from me @newscientist.bsky.social

First winter hiking trip of the season and with absolutely amazing visibility over hundreds of kilometers stretching through the former Czechoslovakia from the Krkonoše Mountains to High Tatras. It's good to be home.

We raked through thousands of publications to gather scientific data on human past from archaeological contexts. Sometimes we get very sad and frustrated that the way how archaeologists publish prevents all the others from using their data. We need to change this! www.degruyter.com/document/doi...

I refused to submit a job application where a condition for applying was to pay the advertising university over 200 EUR for verification of my PhD diploma. All within the EU where there shouldn't be barriers like this. WTF!

The Journal of Archaeological Science (JAS) now does a "reproducibility review" as part of the submission process: www.elsevier.com/connect/how-... If your manuscript mentions using an open source programming language, it will get this review, in addition to the normal peer reviews.
