Not going to AHA, but seeing people post screenshots of their panels. Always interesting to see the all east coast based panels.

Cost and distance are high from the west, but weather has to be just as much of a deterrent to not going

My article in the AH is on the history of meteorology. I wanted it there as it was based in rural Argentina, but also reached out them and asked if there was a fit issue and they said they are interested in all aspects of rural history

Hasnโ€™t caught on any mainstream level, and even now with more people on it feels more like everyone standing kind of quietly in a room

Oysters doing well in Firth of Forth after reintroduction, say experts Early signs of success seen in area where native European oysters were fished to local extinction by early 1900s

For more than a century, native oysters have been missing from Scotland's Firth of Forth. Now they're back! ๐Ÿฆช๐Ÿฆช๐Ÿฆช
It's a buzz knowing people are working hard to restore vital ocean habitats
Imagine what it'll be like having a huge oyster reef back in the F of F! ๐Ÿ’™

I have just set up a starter pack for Latin Americanists. Please share it widely so we can develop a larger community of researchers engaged in Latin American Studies from a broad interdisciplinary perspective. Thanks go.bsky.app/UjzLMBx
