The pressure to publish can lead to unethical research practices and a lack of focus on quality over quantity. Let's prioritize integrity in academic research and not just the number of publications.

PhD students don’t want to be postdocs. Faculties are leaving academia... Intriguing discussions are published by both Nature and Science.
Key points are:

Yesterday, a racist came onto our thread and said that "archaeology used to be a white male swashbuckling adventurous profession". (Yes, we can hear your groans from here) So here are some amazing people that defined the field, but aren't talked about enough🧵

In bioanth, at least, postdocs have become so specialized and procedure driven that I find I'm not qualified for them. If PIs want fellows, they need to be open to training them on software, hardware, and lab work. PS: I'm desperate for work/would love to do a postdoc...

I want there to be a resource for archaeologists to determine appropriate wages and opinions of CRM companies. I am hoping with enough sharing we may be able to gain a foundational understanding for upcoming and professional archaeologists in the field.forms.gle/J5MWB7cx6Pj11kCTA

I stand strongly against the idea that some lives are expendable during a pandemic. This is why my mask will continue to stay on. Covid is not over.
Dr. Kat 💀 retweeted
If we wanted to learn to live with COVID, we could have:
-improved ventilation
-provided free N95s
-expanded PCR testing
-increased vaccine uptake
-upgraded vaccine passports/mandates
-legislated 10 paid sick days for workers
This is surrendering to COVID, not living with it.

Dear students,
I don't pace the lab to spy on you. I've just learned there's a slice of your population that won't ask me for help unless I happen to be beside them.

I actually hate the term "#studentloanforgiveness". Why do people need to be "forgiven" for getting educated by the only means possibly for most people? Just delete it all. Education is for everyone and there are no apologies necessary.

Interested in limb bone morphology? Our sample of 246 3D-models of bovid long bones is now freely available on @MorphoSource morphosource.org/projects/00…
Many thanks to the curators @Le_Museum, and to @ERC_Research for funding the #Gravibone project!

Sharing that you don't want or need to use the title "Dr" is a privilege not everyone has. Without the title, some (particularly under-represented folk) aren't seen, taken seriously, or believed. Remember this if you find yourself questioning why others proudly display it.

just a quick reminder re: discussions about human genetics and human variation:
race ≠ ethnic group ≠ population ≠ ancestry
These are four different measures/variables/descriptors and are not synonymous
