HERE IT IS! #STEMeducation #STEMKids #scicomm I have made an all-in-one, slightly reformatted, and compressed file of Ruby's Laboratory Manual. You can find it on my website here: sites.nd.edu/cara-ocobock/o… Thank you all for the patience, overwhelming response, and kind words!

Super pleased to announce a new article out this week on “The value of podcasting in human biology.” This article is really about developing metrics to measure the impacts of our #scicomm & #publiclyengagedscholarship with @HolyLaetoli & @CaraOcobock onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aj…

Sharing our new article on water needs in pregnant endurance athletes, from preconception to 3rd trimester. Physical activity predicts higher water turnover (via deuterium dilution), & this relationship is stronger in higher heat index conditions. @ISEMPH doi.org/10.1093/emph/e…

Little bit of sunshine in these dark times. I had great time chatting w/ @katethechemist! Full ⭕️ we recorded when I was in Finland in fall, & episode out during my winter trip. @kcur893  @seekingascientist @stowersinstitute @UNDResearch @NotreDame kcur.org/podcast/seekin…

I wrote a response (with a baby in my arms). It is telling that the twitter attacks have not come from Paleolithic specialists: docs.google.com/document/d/1Dl…

Reminds me to say Paleolithic lifeways do not have to be represented by living forager communities—and probably are not.

Have a look at the Martin et al. response to our (@professorlacy) Woman the Hunter articles and our response to it. Comment: anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/am… Response: anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/am… Happy to send pdfs!
