I'm officially amused that it is legit harder for me to log on to a journal's peer review system than to my bank account.....

Jay Stock@MarcKissel something about their work ethic is useful for me, it's not something they can really self rate, and it accounts for a lot of what makes a student successful
Marta Mirazon Lahr@MarcKissel Hi Marc - this is the time of year when we write many of these! I always try to stress (if applicable) that they think and work independently, have original ideas and are prepared to learn methods/tools as needed to meet their goals.
I think these are important in the process of joining another group as PD or a new job that will benefit from their research skills/expertise.

Still trying to figure this out but since i see folks with "about me" posts here's mine:
I'm a paleoanthropologist at Appalachian State University (or as i call it, 'the real ASU'!).

But I'm also really interested in critical #pedagogy (like #ungrading) and make a classroom a more open and just place.
Hoping to learn a lot from all the awesome folks here!
I really liked the connections I made in that other space and also have no idea how that happened. But hoping to connect with folks here as well and chat about #anthropology #paleoanthropology #pedagogy and other fun things
"Our analysis of thumb muscle attachment patterns supports an early emergence of habitual simple tool use, long before the evolution of early Homo, consistent with recent archaeological hypotheses. However, not all early hominins showed this pattern, underscoring the mosaic nature of the emergence of these behaviors..."
