Honored to speak at the Czech–Israeli Conference at the Czech Parliament — a great exchange of ideas on science, education, and innovation. www.politikaspolecnost.cz/aktualne/cze... #CzechIsraeli #Academia #Innovation

Visited the Ledčice Archaeological Park near Mount Říp during today’s excursion. We documented a soil profile at a site where clay is still extracted for building traditional ovens (part of experimental archaeology).

Prof. Höschl byl z té generace profesorů, která pokládala za samozřejmé, že profesor napsal kvalitní učebnici svého oboru. Jeho učebnice psychiatrie byla podle mě jednou z nejlepších česky psaných učebnic. Byla napsaná tak dobře, že jsem vážně uvažoval o tom, že bych šel pracovat na psychiatrii.

Velká ztráta pro rodinu, přátele, kolegy, psychiatrii a její osvětu i pro náš malý Vesmír s velkým "V". Jen ten velký vesmír s malým "v" nejspíš zůstane netečný, jak je jeho zvykem. Sbohem!

His passing is a loss for the entire Catholic Church and for all who found guidance and hope in his words. May God grant him eternal rest and bring comfort to us all. www.bbc.com/news/live/cr...

I was part of the team that re-exposed one of the largest Philistine gates ever discovered in Israel! This massive Iron Age gateway will soon become the centerpiece of a brand-new national park. It’s an incredible feeling to help bring ancient history back into the public eye—3,000 years later.

New findings from the Czech Republic! A Neolithic long barrow (3633–3522 cal BC) was built using local chernozem — creating a rare palaeoenvironmental archive. No prior settlement, only ritual construction. authors.elsevier.com/a/1sNf2,3z05... – free access until May 30 #Neolithic #soilarchives

Naučit se nový jazyk snadno a efektivně? Na FF UK jsme ve spolupráci se startupem Mooveez vytvořili unikátní metodu učení cizích jazyků, která čerpá inspiraci z přirozeného procesu učení mateřského jazyka u dětí. Brzy ji budete moci vyzkoušet v mobilní aplikaci. 📲 www.ff.cuni.cz/2025/04/cesk...

The summer semester lineup of #debatesinarchaeosciences is here! Join us in person if you are in Bonn, or online by dropping us an email at bocas(at)uni-bonn.de. This semester we travel from the Mediterranean to the steppe and from the 4th millennium to forensic cases. Come along!

I'm doing a thing in #Rstats 👩‍💻 and it seems that the result is Germany 🇩🇪 🧪 #science #stats #coding

Poslední aprílový příspěvek, který dobře odhaluje historické paradoxy hry kámen – nůžky – papír. Zároveň jde o dobrý příklad, jak grafika může pomoci odhalit logické nesrovnalosti naší nekriticky přijímané současnosti. 😈

"Stáhnout se do archivu a publikovat jen pro společnost českých, v lepším případě evropskych historiku, to většinu lidi neoslovi." Neskutečné rouhání, ta troufalost, jak psát pro lidi? Excelence gdě? Citace gdě? Indexy gdě? www.idnes.cz/zpravy/domac...

We’re now at a conference at Ariel University, with a public lecture on archaeology. Topics range from OSL dating and technosols to the Harappan culture. And it’s also a great chance to reconnect with many friends from my PhD days here.

This week we collected samples in Ashdod – for OSL, chemical analyses, and micromorphology. Initial observations suggest that part of the tell may have been founded on waterlogged ground. The soil is starting to tell its story.

Any researcher who still thinks we all lived in egalitarian societies until the invention of agriculture started a species-wide “fall from grace” into inequality should really be in the theology department, as this idea simply has nothing to do with science or evidence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Arrival in Israel to begin sampling at Tell Ashdod. Our first encounter with a Houthi missile attack – just a few minutes in the shelter, followed by a deeply moving visit to Hostages Square in Tel Aviv. A powerful reminder of the reality on the ground and the resilience of the people living here.

Białystok – once at the heart of Poland, now a border city with Belarus. A crossroads of cultures, and home to the short-lived Belarusian People's Republic in 1918. Discussing historical transformations of the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period with Prof. Piotr Guzowski! #history #Białystok

Právě mě napadl slovně mladý muž, kterému vadilo, že držím za ruku malého syna na eskalátorech v rámci @dppoficialni.czesky.online Přitom je to jediný správný způsob přepravy dítěte na eskalátorech. Jestli tohle zažívají maminky denně, nedivím se, že klesá porodnost.

Check out Stephen's latest accomplishment! Super proud of him! 🧪⚒️ Excellent job!

To say this is disturbing would be an understatement. Cutting life-saving biomedical research as a means to punish perceived political enemies is morally reprehensible. Scientists please speak up! This is the beginning of the downfall of our institutions! #standupforscience 🧪

They will finally wash the windows at the institute. They could also mop the floors sometime. In the five years I've been a PhD student and postdoc, the floors haven't been mopped even once. @charlesuni.cuni.cz knows how to take overhead from grants, but taking care of things? Not so much.

Putin was counting on Trump. He was Russia’s only hope. And Trump is now delivering for Putin.

DOGE podle stabilního génia žvanícího v kongresu odhalilo skandální rozhazování vládních peněz na blbiny: "8 milionů $ na transgender myši" Transgender nebo transgenic, kdo by řešil detaily. Škrtneme, ušetříme, co by se asi tak mohlo pokazit? Voliči jsou z toho v transu.
