why waste energy on genAI when you can just spend your entire office hours tracing a robin from a photo you took at your fieldsite?
Wish we had a budget for a graphic artist but alas

I know it's passé or whatever to be positive about academia, but this week I emailed an archaeologist I've never met to ask a few questions on background for book stuff and he was like "hey why don't you just come visit our fieldsite?"

Honored to receive one of the few English copies of @philippmarkolin.bsky.social’s new book “Lab Leak Fever”, not published yet in US due to fear of reprisals from the current regime. 2 yrs+ of painstaking research, interviews & intl. fieldsite visits make this the definitive book on COVID origins.

Provincetown is the most expensive, rewarding and complicated fieldsite I’ve ever experienced. My wife often remarks that I have more community here than back at home in western Mass, which is true, but it’s also taken many years and sweat equity to build these relationships.

Hello new followers 👋🏼 Just chiming in from our fieldsite in Saadani NP, Tanzania. We are wrapping up our lion population survey and guess what? Sorting lion-id photos have never come with a better view 🤩 #AcademicSky #Fieldwork #mammals

15. There are 2 kinds of ethnographers: One is loyal to their fieldsite and changes the topics throughout their career. The other is loyal to their specialization, but researches in different locations across the world. In my case legal/political #anthropology in #Kyrgyzstan, #Myanmar, #UK, #Germany

This spy article also mentioned some past spies were grad students
I briefly forgot you could be a grad student in subjects close to national security
instead immediately assumed they were, like, wildlife ecologists
SVR handler: “hear anything good recently?”
Spy: “FOY warbler at my fieldsite?”

Reading a Wall Street Journal article about Russian spies, stuck on this line about romantic partners
How would you even begin to explain to your therapist that your partner abruptly left because they were, completely unbeknownst to you, an SVR agent?
Trust issues for the rest of your life huh

Aaand we even made the cover! With beautiful Gloria, who is grooming her infant, Gwen, two bonobos of the Kokoalongo community at the Kokolopori Fieldsite in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Arrived in the Seychelles on a secret mission. First fieldsite saw our mascot, Coco the Stego, catching a nut to disperse away from Gondwana.

Do you have your #pics of your favorite #fieldsite?
Below is the "Beaver Pond" in Gothic, CO - nestled on #RockyMountain #BiologicalLaboratories ( #RMBL ) land. Living in that valley was so special to me... I'd love to go back one day.

It is weird.
I (for now) know more about (many aspects) of my fieldsite than probably any one single person who works there at this point (*excepting the immediately prior museum director but while he doesn’t work there, he is ex officio on the board of trustees)

It's always a joy but the tiniest bit frustrating when I find these guys away from my fieldsite. I spent all afternoon walking fields searching to find one female, and then I'm just walking around my parents farm checking on foals and spot this bright yellow #misumena

Today in #autoethnography.. and a first in my career.. I was honored to give a speech in my research fieldsite to commemorate Juneteenth in Provincetown.. deep gratitude to Broadway star James Jackson and the entire Juneteenth committee for welcoming me into such an auspicious and audacious event! ✨

Several years ago I was setting up a new fieldsite with friends. I grew up v multi-lingual & it was unusual for me to be immersed in a culture where I had no language in common w/ the local community we worked with.. and yet we camped, cooked, made shelter, navigated terrain, & more together..

The mental energy of writing a speech basically for an audience that doubles as my fieldsite.. giving the speech and doing ethnographic work for an entire afternoon, with endless new connections, ideas, leads and contacts.. I’m just flat on my back wondering how I survived qual research in my 20s.

There is a fear of “generalising” in anthropology whereas this should actually be the goal: once you compare, you generate a more general image of the world that built upon, but does no longer have to resemble what you found in your particular fieldsite/s. There is thus nothing to fear, really.
