Happy to finally have this paper on improving forensic anthropological theory, method, and practice in trans and gender diverse identification in Current Anthropology @wennergrenorg.bsky.social with wonderful anthropology and medical coauthors! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/736355

Support Needed for SAPIENS Magazine and its Staff Union! We, SAPIENS staff, write to our supporters with an urgent request for support. We were informed this week that our funder, the Wenner-Gren Foundation, may choose to close SAPIENS Anthropology Magazine...

The @wennergrenorg.bsky.social may be shuttering @sapiens.org. Please consider submitting a letter in support of Sapiens. We need public-facing publications like this now more than ever.

Happy Pride month and beyond!

And to FAB Lab-ers Liz Poplavska, Caroline Schilling, Ali Lear, Victoria Conquest...

Fighting for Justice for the Dead—and the Living A group of forensic anthropologists argues their field must challenge systemic inequities through advocacy and activism.

Sapiens piece about the importance of advocacy and activism in forensic anthropology out today with @drarielgr.bsky.social, Ashley Smith, and Donovan Adams! While written largely before the current attacks on science, it's (sadly) timely.
