@CreativeCorazon Congratulations!!

Exciting moment but I guess everyone knows how lucky I am to be making history as the first UCL SSEES Lecturer in Central Asian Politics and Society. Here’s my short interview at a new job… ❤️

@thethinsection We know who they are - it is an open secret. What makes me upset is the people that support their egos by inviting them to conferences and publishing with them.....

I grow more convinced each day that #academia, especially renowned laboratories in the Global North, is heavily influenced by strong egos that sometimes overlook ethics and integrity. The sad thing is we all know who they are. Be nice and humble. #WomenInSTEM #Archaeology

I've been on the other site for a while - but just starting to find people over there.... bsky.app/profile/ventre…

Watching Indiana Jones with @NomadEmpires and our son. Me: do you think he had an MOU with his collaborators? Bry: those must be his postdocs

My mentor is making changes to the text of my book, and I just saw this gem: *define this term for students and provosts* 😂

Archaeologists, if you haven’t watched Time Bandits…..start now. Episode 7 is hilarious, as they end up in the Paleolithic and…..well, interact with Neanderthals. Best thing I’ve ever watched 🤣 #Archaeology #neanderthal #TimeBandits

@Shooshan5 @antonyhsu Congratulations! Hope you had A wonderful night ❤️❤️

Tonight, @antonyhsu and I celebrated 20 years of marriage - adventures, explorations, risks, and challenges that we undertook together. Best adventure buddy in the world!!

@CM_Carolus The preservation looks amazing! Excited to hear more about this fantastic site.

As 2024 excavations end, here’s a quick intro to my new project in Dornod Province, Mongolia: the Khölönbuir Archaeological Project. Here we’ve begun work at the incredible Iron Age pit house village of Khairt Suuryn, located on the banks of the formidable Kherlen River (1/

BREAKING: The Department of Transportation just proposed a new rule to require airlines to seat parents next to their young kids on flights for free. It’s part of the Biden admin’s crackdown on junk fees.

Loving the teenagers asking other women to vote - because they cannot! @KamalaHarris

Excited to see such a wide variety of women on this organizing call that are supporting Kamala Harris!

Today, not only am I fired up to endorse @KamalaHarris for President of the United States, I’m proud to serve as a co-chair of her campaign. In Vice President Harris, Michigan voters have a candidate they can count on to lower their costs, protect their freedoms, and build an economy that works for working people. Donald Trump is a convicted felon who stokes violence, overturned Roe, and drove our economy into the ground. We cannot let him anywhere near the White House. Vice President Harris, you have my full support. Let’s win this.

@SluckyAlex Congratulations! You look amazing. Wishing you a long and happy life together ❤️

Married my best friend yesterday in a 700 year old medieval guild hall. Quite literally perfect for two archaeologists 🥰

My life with a partner in the same field is pretty accurately portrayed in the series Lessons in Chemistry…..especially the second episode where they are collaborating on a manuscript ❤️ @AppleTV #lessonsinchemistry #Archaeology #AcademicChatter @NomadEmpires
