An amazing display that I plan to visit one of these days.

Incredible story. Sort of reminds me of some elements of competition in Fossil Wars between Marsh and Cope. Lack of progress in human evolution is usually explained by a lack of evidence but to that we need to add hiding evidence, coercion of junior researchers, etc.

Very scary stuff from Krugman even if it is only partly accurate.

For me and most of my cohort who were interested in the issue, this chapter in Man the Hunter, was the most important chapter in the entire collection. It has been cited more than 1,500 times.

Thanks for posting this. She was such a lovely person. At HBES meetings I remember early morning chats with her about what she and Martin had spotted during their bird watching forays. And also her support for young scholars was a model for us all.

We need people like her to stay the course while Trump is in power. As elsewhere noted, our friend Alice Dreger has a wonderful and interesting remembrance of her upon meeting her daughter alicedreger.com/frances/

I would say "What! You only want $1,000 for all that work you have been doing on me?" I'm insulted.

I recall reading some of Crews' earlier works critiquing Freud. I skimmed his book but it was much too detailed for me to read with interest, even though it was well written. It is still a mystery to me why Freud is worth further analysis except for the fact that lit crit people are fascinated.

In the University of California system In late 60s to early 70s tuition, student body fees, and health insurance were about $450 for the year or what would be about $3,800 in today's dollars. Today, those three costs are about $20,000

Klompus is a fine example of the problem with social media - the slavish perpetuation of lies posing as virtue signaling.

It's going to be complex. Let's assume the journals retract or place retracted on his articles. I wonder if Elsevier would send a list of those articles to journal editors to make sure submissions don't cite the retracted works? Seems to me, what they are doing is just a first step,

Thus far i have not seen a cyber truck that looks like a blue collar worker's truck. They are all over the place here. I just don't get it.

Glad their system is self or other-correcting.

OK, they removed the "explicit sexual imagery" complaint from my profile.

Don't have the reference but once read that that sort of branching patter reduces predation from mammals by making leaves difficult to easily reach.

Mark Rylance is great in the series. Have you seen him in "The Outfit"?

That photo has a history. At NSF they wanted to put it up in the visitors area of their new building. It was set to go then a PR person called me to ask for a non-nude version which, of course, I lacked. Now it hangs in a meeting room for mature adult scientists.

Hard to know what that means. I get some of my news from X too but more than 90% of what news I read is from traditional media albeit on the web such as WaPo, NYT, Atlantic, etc. I suppose my "influencers" are people such as P. Krugman. Jesse Singal, J. Coyne, T. Edsall, etc. So, what does it mean?

Would have loved to hear some of the thunder. But since it is a time-lapse that may not be possible.

I love the way Zotero acts as a proxy when I log to Google Scholar to do a search for journals my university has subscriptions. It is much faster and easier than logging on to my university library. It's a huge time saver.
