This represents 5 years of work led by our global team, building on our proud 50 year history of NSF-funded methods programs in anthropology

It's a joy to write when I get to center and cite my colleagues' work & explain why it's so important. I'm especially delighted that the citations in this piece are 1000 words longer than the text itself.
